Hello, I have just left school and have got myself a job in an office. When I sat down this morning there was talk in the office about a 'strike' later in the year. I know that when people go on strike it means they sit outside their place of work and don't actually go in to work until something, usually wages, change.
But what does a strike entail? I rely on my wage for my rent and so don't want to miss any pay (I am happy with wages here), can I still work if I choose to during a strike? I really just need the money and can't afford to miss £35 a day, but I have heard if you try to go to work during a strike people don't like you. Would I be putting myself in danger? Do managers go on strike with the workers?
To be honest I am quite nervous and just want to know what to do- thanks.
PS, I am in the UK.

You must strike if all other workers are striking...
There is probably a union of some kind to keep your best interests at heart...
I have no idea what the L35 means since I am in the USA...

You will be expected to join with the others, I know it ain't fair, but if you are the only one going into work, you will not be popular, wait and see what happens.
