Crossing Picket Lines. The Code of Practice on Picketing advises 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, this number includes trade union officials. Pickets can try to peacefully persuade employees not to cross the picket line, but they must not use intimidating behaviour to prevent anybody attending work. Picketing is only lawful if it is carried out by a person attending at or near the place of work they report to, although Union officials/representatives may join any picket line provided that they are supporting their members. The law does not enable a picket to attend lawfully at an entrance to, or exit from, any place of work other than his own. This applies to those working at other places of work, even if employed by the same employer. In other words, you are only allowed by law to picket the building where you personally are based unless you are a shop xxxxxxx or other Union official. Mobile workers are considered to be based at the premises from which their work is organised.
