HI all

Well, the decision about the strike has been taken - I am striking, just don't think I could not considering my union is iyswim. To be honest, I had a really good chat with the year 7s this afternoon about it - was explaining how it wasn't about the amount teachers were paid and we chatted about the economy and the value of money (!!!) and union loyalty - it was great - then I remembered I was meant to be teaching them about the black death of the fourteenth century!! Whoops.

Not sure how I'm going to sort the money situation - will have to do the dreaded ebay on thursday!

Only 4 of us are striking - amazing the difference between up here and London!

Hi Sea. I think your chat was much more productive than the black death. I'd imagine the pupils parents are having an "input" into why people are striking. I know a poor lady who is a teacher and doesn't agree with the strike yet feels compelled to for fear of her colleagues reactions if she doesn't. I hope it goes well thursday. hope you're doing ok, has been an age since we've caught up. xxx

Well, the opposite is happening in my school - out of 27 members of the NUT, only 3 of us are striking (the 4th changed mind today when school wasn't going to be closed).

Why join a militant union if not going to go with the democratically agreed vote? I don't think the strike is necessarily the best thing to do at all, but I just am still supporting the union - what's the point otherwise??

Not been posting on here much - feeling full of anger and rage recently - need more sleep lol!!! Not all that positive. Been focussing on being creative with the scrapping so that's helping.

Hope all are well. Will try to catch up when I don't feel quite so grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

hi sea, finally found your thread again - i must subscribe to it. I love the layouts you have done, i really need to get some scrapping done, need to print out some more photo's though and i find that so tedious.
Takes a lot of courage to strike i'm not sure i'd even have that courage, but no point in joining the union where i am, they're a bit useless really.

Can relate to the strike dilemma as have had to a few times although dont like it in principle but thankfully we voted no last time...What happened with the drs in the end? Sorry youre feeling full or rage...hugs for you! Hope you sort it soon and yes sleep essential for general calmness! I cant cope with no sleep!

Sorry you're not feeling too good. I agree with you over your striking decision, otherwise why bother joining a union? I presume your colleagues won't say no to a payrise if we get it?
