Picket Lines

Picket lines are a form of protest commonly used during labor disputes, such as strikes. Workers, often represented by unions, gather outside their workplace to demonstrate against unfair labor practices, poor working conditions, or demands for better wages. The picket line serves as a visible statement of solidarity among workers and discourages others from crossing to enter the workplace. Participants may carry signs, chant slogans, and engage with the public to raise awareness about their cause. Picket lines are a crucial tool in labor movements, symbolizing the struggle for workers’ rights and collective bargaining.
