Abstract

This article presents the results of an investigation of the attitudes of New South Wales occupational therapy clinicians toward collective bargaining for themselves and occupational therapy academics. Data were collected using a mailed survey instrument that included scales measuring attitudes toward collective bargaining and collecting demographic data. New South Wales clinicians are supportive of collective bargaining in general for both themselves and academic occupational therapists. They are, however, not supportive of strike action for themselves even over serious professional issues. Level of education was found to correlate with scores on the clinical collective bargaining subscale.
