November 30: Questions and Answers about Taking Strike Action

Have you got a query about taking action on November 30? 

For 10 facts that answer the Government's false claims, go to  http://electmartin1.blogspot.com/2011/11/pensions-10-facts-government-dont-want.html

For questions about the strike itself, hopefully all the points below, posted on the Lewisham NUT website, can give you the answers you need:

All of these links open documents in Microsoft Word:

1  - why are we taking action again on November 30

2 - what do we tell the Head about November 30 ?

3  - who is being called on to take strike action ?

4  - can non-members join the strike ?

5     - can I strike if I didn't vote in the ballot ? 

6   - do NUT members HAVE to strike ?

7   - what about supply teachers ?

8  - can I get in trouble for taking strike action ?

9-  Maternity Pay and Strike Action

10    - should schools close to pupils on November 30  ?

11    - Picket Lines 

12  - what do I do when I take strike action ?

  13   - what if my school has a trip planned for November 30  ?

14  - how much pay will I lose for a day's strike ?

15  - why retiring teachers CAN take strike action
