The Conservative Government introduced legal limitations to "Flying Pickets" in the early 1980's.

The VM management team would not go out to deliberately antagonise the workforce- it just wouldn't make sense from any perspective.
Having said that, I do know of a factory owner who instigated a strike whilst trade was very quiet. It was "resolved" just as trade picked up and he had saved a fortune in wages, by not paying people to do nothing!
The situation is completely different in the case of VM.
