[edit] Expansion
References should be made to Arthur Scargill and the 1978-9 Winter of Discontent in the UK for starters.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Jackiespeel (talk • contribs) 24 June 2005
- I have expanded the article with some info on legality, I agree more needs to be said about history.--JK the unwise 13:37, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Ambiguity
As I see it this article deals with two distinct phenomena pickiting by strikers which has the aim of stopping fellow workers going into work, and general activist picketing which has the aim of stopping people in general going into some place. I think it might be easier to deal with these in seperate articles.--JK the unwise 13:37, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Secondary
- Secondary picketing is where people picket locations that are not directly connected to the issue of protest. This would include retail stores that sell products by the company being picketed against, and the private homes of the company's management. Secondary pickets often do not have the same civil law protection as primary pickets.
This is a bit ambigious. For example in the 2006 Progressive Enterprises Lock-out, pickets were organised at the company stores. Is this considered a secondary picket or a primary picket? This isn't the same as the examples given because the store is owned by and is in a way part of the dispute Nil Einne 09:55, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Disruptive picketing
Neologism? Possibly. I found 267 hits on Google, but the relevant legislationUS Court of Appeals First Circuit, Aug 13 2001 does not use the term "disruptive picketing". Yonmei 07:09, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
