Throughout the current strike wave, misinformation and disinformation has circulated – usually from employers, but sometimes from union officials too – about our rights in multi-union workplaces/industries where one or several, but not all, unions are striking. Some union officials have effectively instructed members to cross the picket lines of other unions.
Free Our Unions produced this leaflet, which we distributed on picket lines and at rallies on the 1 February strike, to counter this misinformation, and as a contribution to efforts to rebuild cultures of solidarity in which refusal to cross picket lines is the default instinct. An updated version will be available for use beyond 1 February.
