What does the term “picketing” cover?

Picketing in the field of labour relations refers to the action of persuading others not to do any business with a particular employer. Most commonly, pickets are seen outside a business where the workers are on strike. The pickets try to persuade others not to cross the picket line to do business with the employer or work for the employer.

Secondary picketing occurs where people picket at a location away from the business place of the employer involved in the dispute. For example, pickets might go to the business place of a supplier of the employer to persuade the supplier not to make deliveries to the employer.
