| Abstract: |
The current investigation was designed to determine whether or not average residents of the State of Montana were knowledgeable about their labor laws. Using an eight-item questionnaire, 100 subjects from the State of Montana were randomly selected for participation and sampled by telephone. The results indicated that the average Montanan was either uninformed or misinformed about the provisions of the law. There were no significant differences in knowledge found between the male and female respondents. When compared with the research findings from earlier studies, Montana residents demonstrated that they were either uninformed or misinformed about their labor laws to a greater extent than residents of the 22 right-to-work states.
