On Thursday 24th April the National Union of Teachers have called a national strike to complain about their pay and many schools will be shut. While I can see their point that their pay is laughable, should they really be allowed to strike? Their problem is with the Government, but it is the parents and children who suffer from strike action. I have only had two days notice, and so arranging alternative childcare has been impossibl, as a consequence I am having to use a day of annual leave and other parents are losing a day's pay to look after their children. It is also disrupting the childrens' education at a time when teachers are insisting that even doctor's and dentists appointments are made out of school hours to avoid such disruption. So is this strike fair?

No there are better ways; children suffer not the public officials.
I believe everyone should have the right to strike,
How many hols do they get now? Lazy people, worked half a year.
no its not fair on the children they should do their job for the joy of teaching children not for the money
depends on the reason they feel it necessary to disrupt the kids education.
no they shouldnt, i think they get paid enough for what they do, what about doctors and nurses? maybe if they stopped paying footballers so much there would be enough money for people who do something worth while
yes why not? if they're being paid under inflation it means they are earning less �
No. Some of them have caused these problems,when my daughter was at school a lot of the big mouthed spiteful kids were favoured
Well We Get A Day Off Skl For It So Yh Lol
If they want more pay, then yes they should, but they should realise that they already get quite a good wage and a lot of holidays!
