Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
labour dispute  participation  picket lines 

Summary:

I concur with the following: "Not necessary to expose one's self to danger. Members of the same group must make a real effort to attend at work. However, if they cannot do so entirely safely because of violence or threats, they are not participants." [p. 14] I concur with the following: "The purpose of the Act is to compensate those who have really tried to attend at work, see ss. 27 and 28. In the context of labour disputes, disentitlement applies also to everyone who supports the participants." [p. 13]
