Based upon the returned questionnaires of 415 striking faculty members from the University of Saskatchewan, a study shows that faculty members who have attended the study session, and those who have been active in past union meetings were more likely to get involved in picketing and in picket organizing during the course of the strike. Analysis of their post-strike perceptions shows that the faculty attitude towards the effectiveness of the strike, strike length, and back-to-work legislation were closely related to the militancy of the faculty during the strike. The survey also shows that the more militant faculty members thought that the strike improved bargaining power of the union, and were disappointed with the back-to-work legislation. They however did not anticipate the ability of the university administration to take the strike and were therefore surprised by the duration of the strike.
