Summary:
The carpenters decided to honor the picket line and claimant refused to cross the lines to go to work. Had he done so the employer would have found something for him to do. Based on CUB 10182 this amounted to participation. The Umpire properly applied the relevant jurisprudence.
The only evidence that he feared for his safety was his remark about getting his head bashed in. That observation was completely unsupported by any objective evidence and in fact, if anything, was contradicted by the employer's evidence. No reviewable error by Umpire.
