Some members may ask if they can picket at a alternate site. If they commute long distances, they may wish to save the daily cost of travel. Or perhaps they want to move in with other family members to obtain help with living expenses, child care, etc. If you are at a small worksite and would find it difficult to maintain a picket line without them, you have the right to tell them this and say no. If you can spare them, make sure they inform the Picket Captain at the alternate site.
Accounting know where to send the member's strike pay cheque.
Wherever possible, picket duty should be scheduled to minimize people's need for child care. Because most members will see a significant drop in their income while on strike, it is the picket captain's responsibility to work with your local officers to arrange child care. Perhaps a larger local could set up its own child care centre. Perhaps members who cannot physically picket can provide child care. Perhaps picketers can exchange child care services.
