Strike Out Payment Permit For Free

A strike may be unlawful because an object, or purpose, of the strike is unlawful. A strike in support of a union unfair labor practice, or one that would cause an employer to commit an unfair labor practice, may be a strike for an unlawful object.

Non-union members can also strike, says Crystal Boyde, an employment lawyer at Thrive Law. "As long as the industrial action is lawful, non-union members are allowed to go on strike and remain protected from dismissal," she says.

Should you work during the strike? That is a personal decision and none of the Foundation's business. Under the National Labor Relations Act you have a right to strike as well as a right not to strike. If the employer continues to operate during the strike, you need to decide what to do based on your own needs.

The Union constitution provides for fines and/or assessments to be levied against any union member that either crosses the picket line or refuses to take part in strike activities. Crossing the picket line or failure to participate in the strike will result in loss of union seniority.

Taking part in industrial action - your rights You don't have to take part in industrial action and can't be disciplined by your union if you don't. If you do get excluded or expelled from your union, you can complain to an employment tribunal.

A strike that violates a no-strike provision of a contract is not protected by the Act, and the striking employees can be discharged or otherwise disciplined, unless the strike is called to protest certain kinds of unfair labor practices committed by the employer.
