Does anyone know anything about striking while on maternity leave?

[BellaBearisWideAwake]

Obviously I will ring my union about this during office hours.

The NUT have decided to strike on 30th June. I am on maternity leave. Do I 'strike'?

Bump?

You can protest but I dont see how you'd strike

No me neither, but wondered about pay and so on

They can't take your pay as you aren't officially striking

I don't see how you can strike tbh. You aren't expected to be at work. I suppose you could ask your employer to hold bak your maternity pay for that day but if you're on SMP I can't see how they'd do that. Maybe your best course of action would be to carry on as normal re pay but go down to the picket line (with your baby ) and support your colleagues there?

Ok excellent. Thank you!

If you want to support the strike you could give the equivalent of a day's pay to your union as a donation.

Say you'll go in for a KIT day, then refuse. You could strike that way?
