Understanding the GE Work Relatedness Doctrine in Labor Disputes and Picketing Regulations

The GE work relatedness doctrine specifies limitations on picketing during labor disputes. It applies mainly to actions at the premises of a primary employer, particularly when operations are ongoing at a neutral employer's situs. Picketing must be confined to the designated gate utilized by the primary employer’s employees to avoid violating the "reasonably close" criterion established by the MDD. The doctrine emphasizes the union's responsibility to minimize impacts on neutral parties, assessing legality as per the Moore Dry Dock ruling.
