TLDR
For example, this paper found that some of the factors that influence Queensland Teachers' Union members' attitudes toward union militancy do not operate in the same way as those that influence commitment to union membership, nor are these factors equally important in shaping attitudes toward solidarity, or opinions on the use of sanctions against nonunionists.Abstract:
This study shows that some of the factors that influence Queensland Teachers' Union members' attitudes toward union militancy do not necessarily operate in the same way as those that influence commitment to union membership, nor are these factors equally important in shaping attitudes toward union solidarity, or opinions on the use of sanctions against nonunionists. The particular factors whose influence is examined are those of age, gender, tertiary training, promotion, commitment to teaching, and the type of school in which a teacher works. Reasons for the observed differences are discussed.read more
