	Picketing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Picketing is a common tactic used by trade unions during strikes, who will try to prevent dissident members of the union, members of other unions and ununionised workers from working.
		Picketing as long as it does not cause obstruction to a highway or intimidation is legal in many countries and in line with freedom of assembly laws but many countries have restrictions on the use of picketing.
		Mass picketing and secondary picketing was however outlawed by the The Taft-Hartley Labor Act (1947).

	Picketing - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		PICKETING, a term used to describe a practice resorted to by workmen engaged in trade disputes, of placing one or more men near the works of the employer with whom the dispute is pending, with the object of drawing off his hands or acquiring information useful for the purposes of the dispute.
		The definition of the offence was qualified by a proviso excluding from punishment those who attend at or near a house or place merely to obtain or communicate information, in other words what is termed peaceful picketing, without intimidation, molestation or direct efforts to influence the course of a trade dispute.
		The change in the law is supplemented by provisions forbidding actions against trade unions in respect of any tortious acts alleged to have been committed by or on behalf of the union.

		The Defendants were not engaged in residential picketing because they were not addressing the resident, they were not standing in front of the house, and because the house was being used for a public meeting at the time they were standing on the street.
		The residential picketing statute is unconstitutional on its face because it is overbroad, and it violates the free speech protections of the state and federal constitutions.
		The residential picketing statute is unconstitutional because it is not narrowly tailored to serve a significant government interest and it does not leave open ample effective means of communication.

	EMIRE: IRELAND - PICKETING
		Picketing consists of a demonstration, usually at or near a place of work, which declares the existence of an industrial dispute and, usually, seeks to persuade employees not to work.
		In other words, so-called "consumer picketing" (designed to persuade persons not to deal with, or make purchases from, or enter into business with the employer in question) is not protected, and equally the commission of other torts such as trespass, nuisance, and so forth are not protected.
		Under these rules a picket by one trade union should be observed by members of that union only, unless the ICTU has called an "allout" strike at the request of that union.

	General Introduction on Effective Picketing (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Picketing the site of an activity that is particularly abusive to animals is a highly effective technique for expressing our deeply held view.
		As is the case with all forms of direct action, picketing should be undertaken only after both the issues and the target have been researched and selected with care and attempts at a negotiated solution have failed or would clearly be futile.
		Most jurisdictions do not require a permit for picketing on public property, as long as participants keep moving and do not obstruct pedestrian or vehicular traffic; however, leafletting, use of bullhorns, or signs for sticks may be restricted.

		The phase I picket signs said ``Olympic does not have a contract with Local 32,'' which is language expressly permitted by the publicity proviso, and the phase I picketing did not have an impermissible effect of interfering with deliveries or the performance of services.
		Unfair labor practice protest picketing which occurs after the settlement of the unfair labor practice, but still during the period of compliance with the settlement, is not conclusively invalidated as unfair labor practice protest picketing just because of such timing.
		Unlike the phases I and II picketing, however, the phase III picketing obviously was not for the purpose of truthfully advising the public that Olympic does not employ members of, or have a contract with, the Respondent, and it therefore was outside the scope of the protection of the publicity proviso.

	Picketing and Harassment
		Every year, a majority of clinics experience at least one of five types of harassment: picketing; picketing coupled with physical contact or blocking patients or staff; vandalism; picketing of staff members’ homes; and bomb threats.
		Disruptive picketing (defined as protest activity that harasses, intimidates, and impedes the movement of staff or patients) is an increasingly common means of harassing clinic patients and staff.
		Unless the disruptive picketing escalates to a level of violence that constitutes a violation of the federal FACE law or a state equivalent, other legal remedies must be sought to assist abortion providers, clinic staff and patients who experience harassment and intimidation.

		Unions that continue to picket in breach of an injunction are in contempt of court and liable to pay very heavy fines.
		Secondary picketing - picketing at a workplace or premises where you do not work - does not have the same civil law protection, but is not a criminal offence.

		The employer discharged certain employees who picketed the Employer’s shareholders meeting arguing that the ban against “any picketing whatsoever” clearly encompassed picketing at the meeting.
		Since the picketing of the meeting did not threaten or cause a suspension of work, the activity did not violate the clause.

		Picketing is legal regardless of its location or character, unless its prosecution has been characterized by wrongful conduct amounting to a tort or crime.
		Although picketing during labour disputes, is primarily directed at inflicting economic harm on the employer, the economic interests of third parties may also suffer harm as a result of picketing activities.
		As previously discussed, one important objective of labour picketing is the infliction of economic harm on the employer with an eye to compelling a favourable resolution of the dispute.

	States eye picketing at soldiers' funerals - Boston.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		States are rushing to pass laws to keep protesters from disrupting funerals after members of the tiny Kansas church began picketing the services of U.S. soldiers they say died as punishment for defending a country that harbors homosexuals.
		During the 1990s, the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kan., went around picketing the funerals of AIDS victims with protest signs that read, "God Hates Fags." But politicians began paying more attention recently when church members started showing up at the burials of soldiers and Marines killed in Afghanistan and Iraq.
		The question is whether a church, funeral home or cemetery is considered private or public during a ceremony, said Eugene Volokh, a law professor at the University of California at Los Angeles.

	Scientology --- draft of picketing rules for Clearwater 2000, Dec. 2-3 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Picketing Scientology is unlike picketing most other organizations because of their policy of "attack the attacker." Because of this, they believe that by policy they must react in some way to a picket to either stop it or discourage the picketers from continuing or returning.
		If it is perceived that someone will be coming to a picket with potential for violence and this person cannot be persuaded against attending, inform all the other picketers of this person's inclinations, and in your conversations with the police inform them of your concerns.
		If you are a fellow picketer and see your mate being physically attacked it is proper to step in between the attacker and the victim, or even to pull the attacker off, but it is NOT correct to hurt the attacker.

	Eugene Volokh on Funeral Picketing on National Review Online
		How near is impossible to tell, but picketers can't be required to stay 300 feet or more away; they probably have to be allowed to march past the funeral, and perhaps even to picket, say, 100 or 200 feet away.
		This doesn't literally cover picketing around funerals, but it's a good bet that courts will find that the interest in protecting the privacy of the grieving at a funeral is at least as strong as the interest in protecting the privacy of people at their homes.
		The chief danger is the slippery slope: Once the supposedly narrow exception for residential picketing is broadened to cover funeral picketing, these two exceptions (one older and one new) could then be used as precedents in arguments for more exceptions (say, for churches or for medical facilities), which would eventually swallow the rule.

		A prohibition on the picketing of churches has less effect on their ability to advance reli gion than the favorable tax treatment that churches already receive.
		Protestors could claim that they are not picketing a doctor in a church, but rather they are protesting that the church allows such a person within its walls.

		The protesters had claimed that the 2002 law, which bars “picketing activity that is targeted at and within three hundred (300) feet of a residential dwelling in the unincorporated areas” of the county, violated the First Amendment.
		Two deputy sheriffs arrived at the protest and ordered the picketers to leave because they were breaking the county residential-picketing ordinance, which the deputies said required picketers to remain 300 feet from the target’s property line.
		It was later discovered that the deputies had misunderstood the ordinance, which actually requires picketers to stay 300 feet from the residential dwelling of the target, a criterion that the picketers met.

		Picketing and Boycotts by Labor Unions.--Though ''logically relevant'' to what might be called ''public issue'' picketing, the cases dealing with the invocation of economic pressures by labor unions are set apart by different ''economic and social interests.''127 Therefore, these cases are dealt with separately here.
		''Picketing by an organized group is more than free speech, since it involves patrol of a particular locality and since the very presence of a picket line may induce action of one kind or another, quite irrespective of the nature of the ideas which are being disseminated.
		Thus, speeches and nonviolent picketing, both to inform the merchants of grievances and to encourage other fls to join the boycott, were protected activities, and association for those purposes was also protected.
