I spoke with a few NR employees today. One was a member of Unite. Does anyone know if Unite will also be balloting for action or will they be forced to cross the line ?
With our bizarre IR laws in this country, it is legal for a non-union person in the same negotiating group as those who are on strike to also join the strike. However, for someone who is in another union, but one which which hasn't balloted for action, even if in the same group of employees, they are acting illegally if they partake in action and do not cross a picket line.
I know this from advise from Unite during industrial action at my workplace last year.
