Abstract
Recent legislative attention, embodied in S. 55 and H.R. 5 of the 103rd Congress, has focused primarily on the rights economic strikers. Specifically, these bills would make it unfair labor practice for an employer to make, hire, or threaten to hire permanent replacements for striking employees, without regard to the length of the strike or the objectives of the strikers. One important area this proposed legislation has not addressed is that of employees who are not necessarily engaging in a strike but simply honoring a picket line. The right of union and nonunion employees to refuse as individuals to cross picket lines at the site of the employer or the employer's customers is considered to be a protected activity under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act. However, these employees would possibly remain outside the safety net of proposed congressional legislation. This article focuses on that abandoned minority. [1st paragraph]
