Chapter 6

What to wear

[ch 6: page 44]

While on the picket line, the picket supervisor must wear “something” that readily identifies him or her as such (section 220A(8), TULRCA). The Code suggests “a tabard, armband or badge” (Code, paragraph 13). Under the TUA 16, only the picket supervisor is legally required to wear “something” that identifies them as such, but the Code itself goes further, suggesting that “badges or armbands” should be worn by all “authorised” pickets, so they can be “clearly identified” while picketing.
