Abstract

Though the frequency of penalties imposed and carried out against striking public sector employee unions is small, this fact does not imply that the application of such strictures is haphazardly ap plied or ineffective. This article explores the relationships between the severity of a strike, the characteristics of the collective bargaining situation, and the legal environment as they influence the likelihood that striking public employee unions will be fined and eventually forced to pay the fines imposed upon them. Using data on 590 public sector strikes between 1979 and 1980, a theoretical framework was developed and tested. Among the results were.
