(2)interdict protest action if there has been non-compliance with the provisions of section 77(1)(b), (c) or (d); and

 

(3)limit the protected nature or duration of the protest action by weighing the importance to the workers of the matter giving rise to the action against the nature and duration of the proposed action.
