I've just finished my PME. Im not with any Union. Honestly, I know fuck all about unions. I know there's TUI and ASTI, and I did take out a student loan with the TUI CU. But I've no idea the purpose or benefits of a union or which one I should go for.

What concerns me is Im subbing in a school at the moment and heard them talking about an ASTI ballot vote thing. And they said that this was an ASTI school. Does that mean if I chose to join TUI I couldn't work in that school anymore? Do you join a union after you get a job in a school and just go with the union they tell you? Im very confused and don't want to ask teachers in the school for fear they will think I'm an idiot.

TIA
