If wage negotiations break down and your colleagues go on strike: what then, how should you behave as a non-striker? Here are some answers.
Unless I'm alone you were fired from the strike, it's business as usual, but there are a few things you should know.

Affected persons are asked not to perform work that could be considered strike-breaking. Here's how to avoid it.
This is what you should do during a strike
- You have the obligation and right to do your regular job.
- Employees who are not on strike may only perform tasks that are normally part of the job. Therefore, it is not allowed to perform those tasks that are assigned to an employee who is on strike.
- Work plans must be followed. Changes in work plans can only be implemented if the plan does not include strikers.
- You can't work overtime because others are on strike, or do more work than you do during a regular job. This may be natural due to illness or other normal absence workplace, but not during a strike.
- The tasks of the strikers can only be performed by the company's top manager and the head of the personnel department.
- Replacing managers (or others people with special responsibilities), who were called to strike, is not executed.
If you are unsure whether the problems that may arise should be considered strike violations, please contact the NITO secretariat or your or other trade union representatives.
