Press Release
Strike action by teachers and other unions in education
21 April 2008
The Cardinal Rule of Voice: the union for education professionals is "Members shall not go on strike in any circumstances". Strike action includes any kind of industrial action.
The union’s policy is to look after its members’ interests – locally, regionally and nationally – by negotiation, rather than by going on strike or taking other forms of industrial action.
General Secretary Philip Parkin said: "We chose the name Voice because dialogue is a core value for our union – it’s how we resolve issues, rather than by taking industrial action."
Voice's policy on strikes and other industrial action, plus further information, posters and advice for members, can be found on the Voice Website at: http://www.voicetheunion.org.uk/action.
