What is the current state of the law on the right to picket?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Cascade Aerospace Inc. v. Unifor Local 114, 2014 BCSC 1699 (CanLII):

In British Columbia, the right to picket has been held not to include an incidental right to stop vehicles as an incident of the right of the Union to communicate and persuade. Union members are entitled to communicate and to persuade, but they are not entitled to obstruct in order to accomplish such communication and persuasion. I refer here to Canadian Pacific Railway Company v. Teamsters Canada Rail Conference – Maintenance of Way Employees’ Division, (May 18, 2007) Vancouver S073400 (S.C.).
