Mistral Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 Just a waring, there's a strike planned for next Thursday, 20th January. I'm pretty sure, it's only state schools but I don't know if it will be secondary only, or primary as well. In my husband's school, there will be no cantine as the ATOSS will be on strike too. Here's the SNES tract about it http://www.snes.edu/snesactu/article.php3?id_article=1277 They mention that there will be PTT (that's good I didn't realise they were still called that) and SNCF strikes next week too.

Battypuss Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Sent one kid to Primaire and the other to College with instructions to check;otherwise I'l be outshopping and neither has a key! Even if both lots are on strike, there will be some teacherswho belong to a different union and won't be, I've found in the past. Plus coles Primaires HAVE to stay open, strike or no strike.

Val_2 Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Not just schools either, la poste, SNCF, Urgences and Chirugiens to name but a few all doing their bit - oh joy it will be the lorry drivers again next so we can't buy petrol and loo rolls again.

Mistral Posted January 18, 2005 Author Share Posted January 18, 2005 As Battypuss said, even if there is a strike, schools have to take pupils, they are not allowed to refuse them access. I have been told that primary schools have to take pupils unless all the teachers are on strike in which case they are allowed to close (I've never checked) I know that secondary schools have to take pupils; It's very rare for all the teachers of a set secondary class to be on strike (despite what the kids would have you believe) and even if they are, the school still has a responsibility to take pupils. Thursday's strike has been called by all the major teachers' unions, but not all teachers are union members (I would guess less than half) not that prevents them from striking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
