Union course and strikes

Post by heathrow86 »

Just a quick question, i am due to attend a week long union course in October at Alvescot. What happens to these courses if there were to be a national strike or a unit strike during the week of my course, would we be sent home or not paid? As i would feel quite bad that i am on a course and my depot colleagues are out manning the picket lines.

Not turning up for the cousre is not turning up for work, hence you are on strike right?
