Picket Line. 1. All employees covered under this Agreement have the right to refuse to cross or work behind a trade union picket line unless the same is declared illegal by the Labour Relations Board. Any employee failing to report for duty for this reason shall be deducted full salary for each day so involved. 2. Refusal to cross a union picket line encountered in carrying out Board business shall not be considered a violation of the Agreement nor shall it be grounds for disciplinary action by the Board. 3. Employees shall not be required to do work or carry out duties normally performed by persons engaged in a strike, or locked out, nor shall employees be required to request, require, or direct pupils to carry out such duties. 4. Employees shall not be required to work with persons who volunteer or are hired to perform the duties which would normally be performed by those who are on strike or locked out. Those who choose to absent themselves will be deducted full salary for each day so involved. 5. In cases where the labour dispute in question involves a place of work for the employee which is other than School Board property, the Superintendent may reassign such employee for each day the picket line remains.
