Abstract
A survey of 1200 undergraduate university students showed that while students have quite favourable attitudes towards unions, only one in three wanted to join a union after graduation. A large proportion of respondents were unsure of their views toward unions. Discipline and parental experiences with unions were sources of significant variation in union sympathy. Student employment was associated to a small extent with increased ideological and instrumental support for unions. Students with positive experiences of union membership were more likely to want to join a union after graduation. The paper concludes that unions should develop coordinated strategies that respond to students' contemporary transition from part-time to full-time work.
