Ok - so first post!
I work part time and have done in the school since Sept. This will be my first strike. How does it work?
I realise we do not have to 'declare' if we are going to strike.
My concern is - if I do (and I joined the NUT to be in a union that I felt would act when things needed changing) - do I leave work for my classes, do I tell my HOD? They will not find out i'm not in until my class is teacherless and I don't show - my lessons are not until after break.
I have only 2 classes - but one is Yr11 so feel the exams are looming etc so can set a past paper for them. Useful but no need for me to be there while they complete.
I have no idea how 'union -orientated' the school is, but know it is open on the day with only one year group being 'off' that day.
Tried to find my union rep today but to no avail, and I'm not back in until Tues for a few short hours, with no time to prep anything due to other external commitments.
What do you/I do??? Part of me feels like going in anyway, but the govt and Gove incense me so much I feel that would be morally wrong...
