    Same here - docked two days (we weren't in the school on the 7th).

    2 days gone and my opt out fee went down by 2days worth. Really weird as I was locked out Mon but was available to ' notdo work work I never did and paid not to do'

    So did we get let off with one day or something? We were on strike for two (one before midterm) and one day we were there but with no students.

    Just checked and I'm socked 3 days. Did everyone else get docked on the last time and two now or something?

    I got docked for the Thurs strike in last paycheck and for mon+Tues in this paycheck. I'm surprised they didn't leave the docking til Xmas paycheck like they used to do. Make it sting more.

    My school was open on the Monday but they didn't dock the money for Tuesday from my pay today. It was stopped from others in my school

    Docked two days. Didn't look at my opt out fee but I suppose it's as someone above posted.

    Still can't get my head around how the fcuk it can be legal to charge an employee for not doing something and then dock that same employee because he /she couldn't access the building to not do this thing. You couldn't make it up.

    And they tell teachers to get real!!

    Mad that it's so inconsistent. Was your school open or something on the Monday? Did you sign the form saying you'd do S&S?

    I can't believe that the unions are rolling over on this one. Docking pay on a strike day - fair enough but docking pay for refusing to do work related to a defunct 'agreement' that no longer applies and still being available for the work you're contracted to do? I'm TUI in an almost fully TUI school so it doesn't apply to me but if it did, I'd be raging, both at the government for doing it and at the union for doing nothing about it. As it is, I'm raging on your behalf. It was essentially work to rule. Since when do you get docked pay for work to rule? It CAN'T be legal.

    No, but instead we get to rage at our union for doing nothing about everything!

    That's true but not very relevant in this case.

    I got docked strike day and the day we got "locked out" and when I say locked out the kids were told not to come in and we teachers were left with an open door that morning so we all stayed in for the day! I'm absolutely raging! If I'd known I wasn't going to get paid - I would've walked out and say in the comfort of my own home.

    How is there such discrepancy? We were in, no kids & got paid. Does it depend on the principal?
