The presence at an employer's business of one or more employees and/or other persons who are publicizing a labor dispute, influencing employees or customers to withhold their work or business, respectively, or showing a union's desire to represent employees; picketing is usually accompanied by patrolling with signs. Cross-referencespicketing n. standing or parading near a business or government office usually with signs of protest or claims in labor disputes or public policy controversies (peace marches to pro- or anti-abortion advocates). Picketing is constitutionally guaranteed as free speech, but in some cases it may be limited by court order to prevent physical combat, blocking of entrances or threats to the public safety.

Similarly, union instructions to permit the union's white collar section (COSA) to continue working normally were defied with successful unofficial mass picketing across the country, which was then extended to National Coal Board (NCB) employees in the Clerical and Administrative Workers Union who did not join the strike at the large Coal House offices in Doncaster (and in South Wales and the North East). When mass picketing practically shut down the Warner Brothers studio, strikebreakers and sheriffs attacked pickets with fire hoses, tear gas, lead pipes, night sticks, battery cables, chains and fists. After the Northwest Businessmen's Association stopped the mass picketing with their injunction, a wave of anti-Jewish feeling broke out among movement forces. |
