No. Unless your union rep is Norman Tebbitt.

While the recommendation is 6,you can have as many as you like as long as you behave yourself.

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 criminalbeing committed on that picket line. Just as with a picket itself, the numbers involved in anysuch 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.

Zorro you are not correct mate because the link you provide is too the pciketing 'guidlines'

There is no law on the pickets and as long as everything is orderly the police rarely disperse crowds

Pack out those lines (oh by the way management will challenge more than 6 - just simply let them know you have withdrawn your labour for the day and if they have an issue to call the police)[/i]

From the very link you posted!

8. The Code itself imposes no legal obligations and failure to observe it does not by
itself render anyone liable to proceedings. But statute law provides that any provisions
of the Code are to be admissible in evidence and taken into account in proceedings
before any court, industrial tribunal or Central Arbitration Committee where they
consider them relevant.

There are only ever 6 pickets, the rest are just passing by!

[poopants]

There should only be 6 on any picket line, but it doesn't matter how many passers by there are as zorro states. Click on the link below its Bristol NDO - 6 pickets and 15 passers by!!

See below - we now have the support of ex-prime ministers (Blair) and American superstars (Shaun Michaels) in Bristol. Any VIP's turn up on your picket lines?
