Edited as details could identify my friend who is the driver concerned, thanks for answers.
Question was can you picket at a place you don't work at?

I believe that would be classed as secondary picketing which is not allowed0

Presumably your union will give you accurate legal advice?
Things like whether site a & b were all canvassed (same union?) and voted might be relevant. Are a & b sites co-located or neighbours?Originally Posted by shortcrust

From https://www.gov.uk/industrial-action-strikes/going-on-strike-and-picketingyou can only join a picket line at your workplace.
Since you only deliver and collect vehicle's from site a then it is not your workplace.
If you are a TU rep then you can pocket at either0 -
My work takes me around many different sites each week, I have never crossed a picket line if one exists.
In a dispute the strikers don’t take this action lightly and will welcome solidarity. If you are unsure speak with branch secretary or full time officer.Don’t be a can’t, be a can.0 -
