Safety Protocol for Crossing a Picket Line
As you know, a strike is now underway with our support staff. We want to remind everyone that safety is the top priority when approaching and crossing a picket line. Please review the following guidelines carefully:
Safety Comes First
• Walking is the safest way to cross.
• If you must drive, go very slowly, carefully, and watchfully.
If Driving Onto Campus
• Stop at entrance – wait until safe to enter.
• Obey all traffic signs and signals.
• Pedestrians always have the right of way.
• Enter slowly, steadily, and cautiously.
While Crossing
• Stay calm and polite.
• Expect possible delays as picketers share information.
• Don’t take comments personally.
• Avoid confrontation – do not provoke incidents.
Respect & Patience
• Support staff have a legal right to strike and picket.
Your respect and cooperation keep everyone safe.
Thank you for helping us maintain a safe, calm, and respectful campus environment.
