If you are on leave during a strike day do you still get paid?

Yes.

If you were on sick the day before the strike not the actual day of the strike though and your sick absence will include the Sunday.

i think the rules have changed on annual leave, will need someone to clarify, but i have heard you will not get paid for strike days..

I would think if you work a 1 in 6 you will get paid as you have already worked for those days off

My day off is on the Friday that we strike , I will be striking on the Saturday , can they stop my pay on my day off (Friday) ? ... I also will be on the picket line on that Friday my day off showing my support.

How could they stop your pay on the Friday if that is your day off? You don't get paid on your day off, so you would only get pay deducted for the Saturday if you strike then. Your Monday to Thursday pay will be unaffected.

Some have done that over the strikes, depends on management letting them do it, there is no real rule about it though.

why is everyone sh'''' themselves for over being on leave day off etc WILL I GET PAID

If you have pre booked holidays to take then you will be paid. If you go sick after the date has been announced then you won't. Common sense really! Nobody likes to lose pay, so I understand the reasoning behind this question.

If you don't strike then you work. Its that simple.
