Applying for financial support
During the 2021-2022 industrial action mandate, there were 18 days of industrial action. If you took industrial action, you are entitled to apply for financial support (though this is prioritised based on need and available funds). You will need to submit payslips showing that you have had pay deducted.
- You can apply to the local fund for the first day of strike action that you took.
- You can apply to the national fund for the second through twelfth days of strike action that you took.
- You can apply to the local fund for the thirteenth through eighteenth days of strike action that you took.
