Summary:
CUB 4222 quoted with approval: The test as to the personal motivation required to overcome the presumption is whether a bona fide worker, with a sincere desire to continue working, would not have attempted to cross the picket lines because he, with reasonable cause, truly feared actual violence.
CUB 4222 summarized what has been held in a long line of Umpire's decisions not questioned in FC or SC: failure to cross a picket line gives rise to a presumption of solidarity which may be rebutted by evidence to the contrary. [p.7]

Summary:

Summary:
Conclusion reached with some reluctance. But this Court, the Umpire, the Board and the Commission must apply the law as it appears that Parliament enacted it, irrespective of the sympathy that the plight of this claimant engenders. [p. 10-11]
