As a Point of Information, Mr Threelegs, striking teachers will forfeit a day's pay today. Not only that, but they will also forfeit a whole years of entitlement to redundancy pay, since a day missed by strike action means that they will not have been in continuous employment for this academic year.
Can you begin to see that draconian regime to which this group of people who are entitled to professional status by virtue of their qualifications and responsibility for our future, are being subjected?
The thin end of the wedge passed by years ago- this is the thick end now. I'm supporting my children (teachers) and my grandchildren (at school) when I support the strike.
