Picketing is a form of protest or demonstration where individuals or groups gather outside a workplace, business, or other location to express their grievances or support for a particular cause. During picketing, participants typically carry signs, banners, or placards displaying their messages or demands. Picketing can be used to raise awareness, influence public opinion, or put pressure on employers or authorities to address specific issues such as labour disputes, unfair working conditions, or social justice concerns. While picketing is a constitutionally protected form of free speech in many countries, it is subject to certain legal restrictions and regulations to ensure public safety and prevent interference with business operations.
