Teachers - how many of you are going on strike?

[nkf]

And will it make a difference?

I'm on ML - so I don't think I can

Good luck to you, if you do decide to strike!

It will be a bit of a PITA to have the kids off school, but it does seem like a bit of a crummy p[ay award that you are contesting.

Not my union

Not me.

Not my union either.

my school and dd's school will both be closed - not enough staff to manage the students.

DW's a NUTter so no doubt she will be.

dp's an NASUWT-er so don't suppose he will be striking.

He's not back till tomorrow so he'll find out then what everyone else is doing. If they're all going out, then there will be no point him going to school on his tod...

If he doesnt go to school, he wont be paid at least that's the situation in my school. Most of our teachers are nut but all other staff will still be there just no kids.

My DH will be.

No.

If staff don't go into school whether they are NUT and striking or in other unions and not striking they won't be paid.

I work in a school as support staff - I don't know if our school will be closed yet, but even if it is I will have to go in. Actually I'll get a lot more done without all the kids around...

Not me - I'm NASUWT - and on ML!

Not me, I'm NASUWT. I think school is closing but non-strikers still have to go in as it would be secondary action if we didn't. Oh well, lots of marking and room tidying to catch up on.

Well I'm all a bit muddled - I don't usually work Thursday but am NASUWT anyway. However, doing supply that day for an NUT colleague - but she is in France that day, no no idea what'll happen there!!

well we still haven't heard anything at our school - but then that's about right for our cr*p communication!

I'm not in the NUT but I'm not sure if our school will be closed yet. Kritur, I think I will doing marking that day too. It will save me doing it at the weekend.

what is the difference between NASUW T? and NUT?

There are a number of different teaching unions the NUT is the biggest. NASUWT has around 250000 members, I'm in the ATL which has 160,000 member PAT is a smaller union. Only the NUT is striking.

I'm in the NASUWT, but I wish we were going on strike. Think pay rise is a total joke

Agree that the pay 'rise' is a total joke and I want to support the strike. But it is my only lesson with yr11 that week and then they have their GCSE speaking exams the next time I see them! So I really could do with having that lesson with them to go over everyhting & have one last practice. Am thinking about striking but going in for their lesson.

In my school there aren't many NUT staff and no body was taking about the strike last week. We are on holiday now so I've no way of finding out whether the strike will have much effect in our school. I am minded to go in if there are very few strikers. I don't know what to do.
