Honestly how can you not be in the union? Sorry but you're a teacher - it's one of the very few where i'd advise everyone to be a member

I didn't say I was a teacher, I said I teach in a primary school, I am a Higher Level Teaching Assistant so I cover whole classes when teachers have their planning and prep time.

My fantastic Head Teacher has said in my position I am authorised to be off, so for now I am safe.  Feel so relieved but so guilty for my colleagues who will have to go in. 
Thank you to all those who gave comment with manners.

HLTA, teacher, cleaner, secretary, dinner lady, caretaker - I agree with Comms that anyone working in a school should be in a union. Not worth running the risk of an accusation being made which the school is required to investigate: I'd want someone on 'my' side not the school's side.
