Teachers are from the off at a disadvantage,which is not a good thing when faced with criteria for learning aside from basic social functions.
If you are a public sector worker my view is the government pays a subsidy to reward your service to the country?
As your working life has been to the benefit of all,and not private industry or yourself?......

Again a strike is a last resort, and it is not for me to suggest an outcome ...However I am in favour.
I offer all my 'services' for free as a rule

Which leads me back to the quality of the teachers that are being brought into the field now? But this is not what the teachers are discussing strike action for - that's just all an offshoot from the real debate here.

How on earth are teachers at a disadvantage? what's that got to do with the reason they are wanting to strike? What disadvantages have they in respect of some changes to their roles and their pensions.

'Service to your country'. Oh come on now Kizzy. Men and women who put their lives on the serious line - military personnel etc - they serve their country. The more docile occupations that many civil servants fall into is not a service - it's a basic job that they choose to enter into - that they get paid a fair salary for, with many perks that come with working in the civil service.

Still - I've asked this question several times over. What difference do you think a one day strike will have - what actual effective impact will it have 'to their cause'? How exactly so you think 'they think' it will change anything - all it is will be a one day strike, with no real impact other than today's news, tomorrow's fish n chip wrappers.
