[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 851571, member: 18044"] Contract Article 9 only protects your right to refuse to cross a [U]PRIMARY[/U] PICKET LINE. Primary picketers are either on strike against their employer, or they are non-union employees seeking union recognition and a first contract from their employer. The Teamsters would be very upset if you crossed a [U]Primary[/U] Picket Line. The proper proceedure is to notify UPS Management of your refusal to cross, and then they will send a management person to cross IF they think the delivery or pickup is all that important. An INFORMATIONAL PICKET, on the other hand, is [U]not[/U] a Strike Line. It is just a group of union or non-union people advertizing their issues to the general public. They may carry signs and hand out flyers, but they are not saying you should stop doing business with their employer. The legal definition of an Informational Picket is that it is for informational purposes [U]only[/U]. There is no active labor dispute. There is no line to cross. So go ahead and make the delivery or pickup. You can show your support by honking, giving them a thumbs up, smiling etc. [/QUOTE]
