As a CBU employee, you have a legal right to cross a picket line to enter campus, and you are expected to continue your work as a non-striking-union or non-union member. Any picketing is expected to occur in a lawful, respectful and considerate manner.
Crossing a picket line should be done respectfully. While this may be uncomfortable for some employees, we encourage you to act as you normally would toward those striking. It is legal for those on strike to provide information and we respect their right to do so, but they must allow the normal movement of people and vehicles onto the CBU campus and CBU affiliated locations. We expect both parties will act respectfully toward one another. There will be an end to every strike and all CBU employees must work together to continue to provide a positive student experience to our valued students.
While unexpected, if you encounter a situation where you feel that you were not treated in a respectful manner by those on the picket line, please report any incidents to your immediate supervisor.
