So I've been a bit self absorbed recently and am not as politically aware as I'd like. I just noticed that my DCs school is open as usual on Wednesday when there is a national teachers strike. They closed for the last strike and sent a letter to parents explaining how strongly they felt about the cause.
I wondered what has changed? Were some of the aims of the last strike met? Are there different unions involved? Are less schools getting involved this time? FWIW, I would strongly support the school in defending the rights of teachers.
I've tried a quick google search but couldn't find a clear comparison between this strike and the last. I feel a bit shy to ask the teachers.
I may get tied up with the DCs for a bit but will be back when I can. Thank you anyone who can enlighten me!
