　　　　　In this case study, a small group of Far-East textile union members, who had actively involved into the strike in May 1989, were the research subjects. Their reasons and action strategies motivating them to become involved in the strike were the focus of this investigation. Three major domains of the workers' strike experiences were proposed and articulated: (1)The change process in which research subjects changed their positions of participation when interacting with the other social actors, such as the manager, government officers, union activists and college students. (2) The understanding and action strategies that motivated their sequential move and the research subjects' consciousness of collective identity were described. (3) The relationship between the representative form of the workers' collective power and the workers' experiences of being repressed in their daily work situation when the strike had failed and ended.
