Respect for Picket Lines - revised October 3, 2002

Union members in British Columbia have won many difficult disputes because of the strong respect our trade unionists have for picket lines.

The BC Nurses’ Union picket line policy is if you are confronted by a picket line, you should not cross it, because BCNU will support that line until there is a ruling by the Labour Relations Board to determine if it is legal.

Once the Labour Relations Board rules on a picket line, the BCNU Council or Provincial Job Action Committee will govern itself accordingly.

BCNU supports the BC Federation of Labour’s picket line policy, which is that "a picket line is a picket line is a picket line," and that union members should respect picket lines.
