Hey everyone, my teacher’s union is going on strike on Tuesday.
It’s for the usual things, working conditions, pay rates and fairness for access for students.
Anyway. I need a placard. Other than stealing sign ideas from the Simpsons I have no ideas. What sign should I do?

Also I hope it goes well for your union and you get the things you need
Most succinct one I saw was one by an ex-colleague of my wife who was leaving the profession anyway at the end of the term. He got a job working phone support for Virgin Media for the same money so created a big sign that had his current hours on:
8am-8:00pm M-F + 6 hours Sunday. £34,000 / year. £9.91 / hour.
Then underneath he put the UK minimum wage which at the time was around £9 / hour.
I don't know how you get across to people that "yes, there's holidays but you have to literally work yourself to death to get them and you spend most of them recovering from work and preparing to go back."
Also I got a chair thrown at me today. That’s pertinent too I guess.

Last week a child pulled a tooth out in the middle of a lesson, getting blood everywhere and freaking out all the other kids. No reimbursement could be adequate.
children/teens are real terrible.
plus all the lonely art kids using their english teacher as a parental figure
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
There’s a Walter white joke in there somewhere too
Lots of good quotes about the essential role of education and teachers, but that feels a little self aggrandising.
You could do something like “education costs [x], the bosses take [y]. We just want a fair share”
Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better

I hope it was their own tooth, at least.
Sign idea: "Support teachers or we'll teach your kids wrong, as a joke"
We need a raise!”
It’s one teacher Micheal, what does it cost? Ten dollars?
Satans..... hints.....
Personally love it but I feel like a lot of people would have no idea what it means.
But I feel the only people who would understand would be like people under 18 and about ten percent of the teaching population.

What is that worth to you?

DAIRY
This only works if the strike involves dairy workers somehow, but the thread title didn't specify so I'm including it anyway because I thought it was pretty good.

And part of a strike's goal is drawing attention to the issues at hand.

The signs are a form of marketing
Yeah serious ones are of value to get the message across, but you also want messaging that is gonna break through to people, and they're gonna remember one that makes them chuckle
Also helps to make you seem like more of a person to 'em

I mean, I know why. It's a bit wordy but works as a sign.
