  • Picketing Instructions

    While picketing you should do the following:


  • Peacefully patrol at or near the employee entrances to the facility.


  • Peacefully attempt to persuade people to honor our picket line and support our unfair labor practice strike.


  • State only that the reason we are picketing is to protest the Company’s unfair treatment of its workers and its violations of federal labor law - do not say anything else.


  • Carry only picket signs issued by the Union - do not alter them or make your own sign.


  • Call people who cross the picket line scabs, but not any other offensive names.


  • Picket only on public property and where directed by a picket captain.


  • Leave the premises immediately if you fear for your personal safety.


  • Report any threats directed at you or other picketers to a picket captain immediately.


  • Comply with instructions issued by picket captains and cooperate with any directions from law enforcement officials.


  • While picketing you should not do any of the following:


  • Do not prevent anyone from entering or leaving the facility.


  • Do not stand in the roadway in front of the facility or otherwise interfere with traffic.


  • Do not gather in groups while picketing, instead keep moving in an orderly fashion.


  • Do not threaten anyone with physical harm or property damage.


  • Do not cause physical harm or property damage.


  • Do not put yourself in a position where you can be accused of causing physical harm or property damage.


  • Do not bring alcohol or weapons - or anything that could be construed as a weapon (guns, knives, sticks, etc.) - to the picket line.


  • Do not litter.
