You need not worry Tezza. Even through the long Hunter Valley No1 dispute
when drivers were asked to cross picket lines and they refused and the
commisioner got involved the bottom line was and will always be that the
driver has to make up in his own mind wether it is safe to proceed. It would
seem clear to me. It people are standing on a running line it is not safe to
proceed . After all, who is giong to order a driver to perform an act of
manslaughter? The final decision must be made at the point of the picket
line and no driver in their right mind would drive through one.
