Strike Season


Unfortunately Strike Season has once again descended upon our land. It's frustrating that in our bid to earn a living wage, we have to sacrifice our pay, and the oppurtunities for learning for our learners. This seems to be the only way we can get our message across. This strike has once again awaken my thinking with regards to my convictions about striking. Personnally I wish that we dont ever have to strike, but seeing that it is our only option , how can we do it with maximum effect ? Firstly ,I feel that our current action only leaves the workers worst off as we lose money and come out of the strike with tags that imply that we dont care about education in our country. Then there's the strike violence and intimidation that only succeeds in developing bad relations between teachers. Below the clip of "Feel It IT IS WAR" I've included a photo of a strike in England. This causes me to wonder how they conduct their strikes. Is it effective ??? What we need is action that produces the neccessary results. Please help me figure out ways in which we can do that.
