Summary:
Although Local 15 is not directly involved in the dispute (Local 1004 was on strike), a tentative deal in collective bargaining had been reached. Local 15 however has not ratified the terms of the settlement. By postponing the ratification vote, Local 15 potentially stands to gain if Local 1004 secures a different settlement. Local 15 therefore is now bearing some of the burden of Local 1004's strike action.

Summary:
Although Locals 1004 and 15 may be separate unions pursuant to the provisions of the Code they can be described as sister unions working in harmony with each other and with CUPE (Canadian Union of Public Employees) National. Honouring picket lines is indeed a solidarity objective. Participation of Local 15 in negotiating the terms of the Essential Services Order would not have been necessary if the members of Local 15 were seriously prepared to return to work despite the existence of pickets.
