122. The
faculty at Northern University were recently unionized, but contract
negotiations between faculty and the administration dragged on for over two
years without any significant progress. During a faculty rally, the union
president exhorted his colleagues to stand up for their right to fair treatment
and just compensation by calling for a wildcat strike. Eighty percent of the
faculty went out on an illegal strike, and refused to teach their classes for
over a week. Then the administration obtained a restraining order, requiring
the faculty to go back to work. At this point, the following conversation was
overheard in the faculty lounge: Professor Carlier: "I'm going to teach my
classes tomorrow. Union solidarity isn't worth a $500 fine to me!"
Professor Tanko: "Not me. I'll stick with the union position, because it's
right. We won't let those administration back-stabbers push us around
anymore." It seems likely that Professor Carlier decided to strike as a
