Strike pay
PAM’s Executive Committee decides the amount of strike pay paid to striking members of PAM and other trade unions for each strike separately.
Who is strike pay paid to?
- Strike pay is paid to members of PAM and other trade unions participating in a strike who have registered for the strike. (YTK is not a trade union, therefore YTK members cannot apply for strike pay)
- You are considered to be a member
- if you join PAM no later than on the first day of a strike affecting your operating location using the online membership form, by telephone 030 100 600 or at the regional office. If you mail the membership form, it must arrive at PAM no later than on the first strike day – the postmark is not enough.
- and when your membership fees have been paid.
- Strike pay is paid to members who would have had a shift of at least 4 hours at the time of the strike and who suffer loss of earnings as a result.
- Sick pay is claimed using the strike form that is made available on the PAM website on the first day of the strike.
