Tackling intimidation of non-striking workers

The government is reforming and modernising the rules for picketing. We’re seeking your views on:

• whether the code of practice on picketing should cover use of social media and be extended to include guidance on protests linked to industrial disputes
• whether there are other practices for picketing that should be legally enforceable
• whether there are gaps in the current legal framework that applies to picketing and associated protests
• proposals that aim to improve union transparency and accountability for picketing and associated protests

We also invite evidence of intimidatory behaviour experienced during industrial disputes.
