I'm a primary school teacher of 12 years and with the NEU. For my own reasons, I don't want to vote yes to striking but will this be judged negatively by other teachers? I just don't feel comfortable with the disruption it causes.
AIBU?

Why be a member of a union that strikes if you’re not prepared to strike? We have been balloted - your vote is your choice - and we should follow the NEU’s directions. If you don’t like them, join a different union.

Especially as non-striking unions exist. Join one of them instead.

You will be asked to leave the union I think.

There are many good reasons for joining a "mainstream" union - not least as they give you better protection (if you need it) when it comes to litigious students
Edapt teaching union who are non-striking would dispute that.

I would rather do a long term 'work to rule' strike but we weren't balloted on that.
