Picket Lines The Employer agrees that, in the event of a legal picket line of another trade union being in existence at any of the Employer's stores within the Bargaining Unit, the Employer will in no way require or force members to report to work behind such a picket line. Nor will the Employer discipline or in any way discriminate against an employee who refuses to report to work while a legal picket line exists at his or her place of work.
Legal Picket Lines Refusal to cross a picket line that is legally established pursuant to the Labour Relations Code shall not constitute cause for discipline or dismissal. An employee who refuses to cross a legally established picket line shall be considered absent without pay.
Strikes Nothing in this Agreement permits or grants to any employee the right to strike or refuse to perform their official duties.
