I'm a primary NQT, in the school I trained in. I got sent a pack of gumph from the NUT today (have just finished laughing my way through their workload policy), and it's been a bit of a prompt that I should get myself joined up to a union. I don't want to be blinded by the £1 joining deal, but is there an idiot's guide to choosing a union anywhere?!
I'm reluctant about strikes, and I trust my school, but want to have that back up for worst-case-scenarios etc. Any advice would be welcomed!
