(1) The Commission or bargaining council must notify the parties to a dispute that, if the dispute is not resolved, a trade union may not engage in a picket unless—
(a) there is a collective agreement regulating picketing;
(b) an agreement on picketing rules is reached in the conciliation proceedings; or
(c) picketing rules are determined by the Commission in terms of section 69(5) of the Act.

 

(2) The Commission or bargaining council must in that notice request that the trade union submit a copy of any collective agreement regulating picketing to the conciliator.

 

(3) If the appointed conciliator is satisfied that there is no collective agreement that regulates picketing, the conciliator must, before issuing a certificate of non-resolution, attempt to secure an agreement between the parties to the dispute on picketing rules using the default picketing rules as a basis.
