Police has received several complaints about the behaviour of drivers going through the picket lines at Canadore College properties.
"All complaints of drivers failing to drive through picket lines in a safe manner are investigated by the North Bay Police," says Staff Sergeant Richard Dubeau.
"North Bay Police would like to remind all drivers to be cautious when approaching picket lines and to ensure that they operate their vehicles safely so that it does not endanger any picketers, pedestrians or other persons in the area. Due to the delays caused by vehicles crossing the picket line, please leave early if you plan to attend a Canadore College location and remain patient if there is a line-up."
Peaceful picketing for the purpose of obtaining or communicating information is lawful.
There is a legal obligation on anyone trying to drive a vehicle across the picket line to do so in a manner that will not endanger the life or safety of picketers.
Drivers who don't could potentially face charges.
