crossing a picket
You make many good posts Lowkoon however the context of this one is not altogether correct.
If there is no picket line a worker cannot be held as crossing one.
And of course the reason that there is no picket is because KA pilots are not on strike .
And the reason why KA pilots are not on strike is because one cannot strike under HK ( Labour) law.
So I would say that CX pilots who undertake work , normally undertaken by KA pilots, cannot be accused of breaking a picket.
CC is something entirely different. In essence CC is working to and in accordance with the contract which every pilot signs.Why any worker would have reason not to comply,precisely, with his/her contract of compliance in the first instance is beyond me.
Beware of custom and practice, ie where common, usual and volunteered work above and beyond the terms of contract , may be established as precedence and thus becomes inherently contractual. And a Labour court may uphold this or an employer may argue this point against an individual worker/ group of workers who have on (many) occassion (s ) fulfilled work above and beyond the terms of contract.
Of course no clearer message can be made to an pilot management than with ones feet.
Walking out the door after using same to kick managers bottom.
