Professional Socialization and Attitudes Toward Collective Bargaining

Abstract

This study examines the basis of hostility toward collective bargaining by professionals as attitudes develop during professional training. Comparisons are made among law students in different class years within a school. Data on the relationship between background, motivation to enter law, careerplans, stage of legal training, and attitudes toward bargaining show that hostility toward professional collective bargaining increases with training. Background factors, motivation, and career plans are initially important predictors of hostility, but become insignificant by the third year of law school. The ability to distinguish the activity of unions from that of professional associations becomes more important as background effects attenuate.
