In an Effort to Obtain Support for Their Cause, Members

question 1

Essay

In an effort to obtain support for their cause, members of the Shipworkers' Trade Union picketed the unloading of a non-Canadian ship. The picketing blocked the unloading of the non-Canadian ship, and in the violence that followed, several of the crew of the non-Canadian ship were injured when assaulted by the pickets. The union members were dissatisfied with the Canadian government's policy of allowing non-Canadian ships to take part in the Canadian coastal trade. The union hoped to force the government to implement the recommendations of a report which had been completed earlier and which favoured the limitation of trade to Canadian ships.
a. What rights, if any, do the parties have in this case?
b. If legal action were taken, what would be the outcome?
