Good Union Members Respect Picket Lines

A good union member is extremely careful when confronted with a picket line situation. WHEN A PICKET LINE IS ESTABLISHED on a job site where he is working.

1). He LEAVES. He DOES NOT TALK - JUST LEAVES.

2). He READS the PICKET SIGN as he leaves.

3). He DOES NOT hang around near the job.

4). He knows that ONCE A PICKET LINE IS ESTABLISHED, his business agents and other Union officials are leagally gagged and handcuffed from giving advice pertaining to THAT JOB. They can only tell him if the picket line is AUTHORIZED.

5). He does NOT ALLOW HIMSELF to be drawn into conversation with ANYONE at the job site.

A GOOD UNION MEMBER KNOWS HIS RIGHTS.

A). He has the right not to work behind ANY Picket Line.

B). He has the right to decide for himself whether to walk off a job deing picketed.

C). He understands that his trade may be under attack next.

D). A picket line at one gate of a TWO gate system means a picket has been established on the job and you have the right not to work on that job.
