Next step would be to look at the concrete conditions in the institutions.
Last strike was in November 2014. It lasted one or two days. Was pay for those days withheld by the employer ? How much of the monthly pay (1/20 or 1/30 per day of strike) ?

Another important aspect is how to govern / manage the fund:

  • a prior calculation needs to be done to fix the size (with respect to the number of members and the number of strike days targeted and the calculated pay loss)
  • once the target sum is decided, money should be directed to the "strike fund" account at a certain pace to respect certain financial ratios for the union
  • once the fund has reached an amount covering at least two or three days a strike becomes feasible
  • in that case, how is the disbursement of funds managed - who can record people entitled to a payout, who can order the payouts out of the strike fund, who certifies that the payout is correct, etc.
