[dazzlin72]

Doesn't matter how busy it is, leading upto, or after the strike, or Christmas pressure. You only have to work your contracted hours, that's all.

And what's wrong with supporting the cause and manning the picket line?

Our local rep said you could only have 12 on the picket line and I know that fifty are going to turn up for picket duty so I will take my turn on the next one.

The recommended amount is 6 - but you can have as many supporters as you want, as long as its peaceful and good natured http://www.berr.gov.uk/files/file23914.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Limiting Numbers of Pickets

48. Violence and disorder on the picket line is more likely to occur if there are excessive numbers of pickets. Wherever large numbers of people with strong feelings are involved there is a danger that the situation will get out of control, and that those concerned will run the risk of committing an offence, with consequent arrest and prosecution, or of committing a civil wrong which exposes them, or anyone organising them, to civil proceedings.

49. This is particularly so whenever people seek by sheer weight of numbers to stop others going into work or delivering or collecting goods. In such cases, what is intended is not peaceful persuasion, but obstruction or harassment-if not intimidation. Such a situation is often described as "mass picketing". In fact, it is not picketing in its lawful sense of an attempt at peaceful persuasion, and may well result in a breach of the peace or other criminal offences.

50. Moreover, anyone seeking to demonstrate support for those in dispute should keep well away from any picket line so as not to create a risk of a breach of the peace or other criminal being committed on that picket line. Just as with a picket itself, the numbers involved in any such demonstration should be conducted lawfully.

Section 14 of the Public Order Act 1986 provides the police with the power to impose conditions (for example, as to numbers, location and duration) on public assemblies of 20 or more people where the assembly is likely to result in serious public disorder ; or serious damage to property; or serious disruption to the life of the community; or if its purpose is to coerce.

51. Large numbers on a picket line are also likely to give rise to fear and resentment amongst those seeking to cross that picket line, even where no criminal offence is committed. They exacerbate disputes and sour relations not only between management and employees but between the pickets and their fellow employees. Accordingly pickets and their organisers should ensure that in general the number of pickets does not exceed six at any entrance to, or exit from, a workplace; frequently a smaller number will be appropriate

As I've now retired the managers can't fit me up with a bullying and harrasment charge for being on the picket line like they did the last time.
