[quote=Anonymous]From the WTU Contract:

ARTICLE 33 - NO STRIKE CLAUSE
33.1 During the life of this Agreement, the WTU shall not cause, support, encourage or
authorize any Teacher to participate in any cessation of work through slowdown, strike,
work stoppage, or other similar activity.
33.2 If a strike, slowdown, stoppage of work, or other similar activity were to occur, the
WTU’s agents shall, upon notification of such activity by the Chancellor, immediately
and publicly declare as illegal all such activity and shall order Teachers to terminate such
activity. Failure of the WTU’s agents to do so shall constitute a violation of this
Agreement.
33.3 For the purposes of this Agreement, an employee who is absent from work without
permission, or who abstains wholly or in part from the full performance of his/her duties
in his/her normal manner without permission, on the date or dates when a strike occurs,
shall be presumed to have engaged in such strike on such date or dates. Such a
presumption is rebuttable.
33.4 Any Teacher who participates in any slowdown, strike, work stoppage, or other similar
activity shall be subject to discipline or discharge with the right to appeal through the
grievance and arbitration procedure only as to the determination of the question of
whether the employee so disciplined or discharged did, in fact, participate in, support or
encourage the strike, work stoppage or slowdown. [/quote]
