The applicant employer sought declarations and directions under section 92 of the Labour Relations Act, alleging that the respondent union and employees engaged in an unlawful strike by picketing the employer's premises during conciliation.
The Board found that the picketing occurred solely during unpaid lunch breaks, was informational in nature, and did not restrict or limit the employer's output or business operations.
As there was no cessation of work or concerted activity designed to restrict output, the picketing did not constitute an unlawful strike.
The application was dismissed.
