People willing to work may refuse contaminated work
The principal may ask people willing to work to take over the class from a striker. That is contaminated work, write the lawyers AOb and FNV. Hiring temporary workers is also prohibited.

Above all, go on strike, is the advice of the AOb to the members. However, if you do not participate, your school board may want to assign tasks that are normally done by a striking colleague. You can refuse that if you are willing to work.
'The right to strike is a fundamental right, which is enshrined in Article 6 paragraph 4 of the European Social Charter', write the lawyers of AOb and FNV. 'We consider the performance of activities that are normally performed by strikers to be contaminated work. This means that we believe that this work should not be done by others, as it undermines the effect of our collective action. '

Refuse
De AOb therefore calls on all members who work in primary education not to perform contaminated work. When the employees refuse to do contaminated work, this falls under the protection of Article 6 paragraph 4 of the European Social Charter. They must not suffer any negative consequences from this. If you run into problems with your employer if you refuse contaminated work, please contact the AOb.
In addition, there is a legal prohibition on using temporary workers or, for example, payrollers to take over the work of the strikers. This can be found in the Workforce Allocation by Intermediaries Act. Do they want to use temporary workers at your school? Then contact the employees of the Information and Advice Center AOb.
