picket sign
Striker's handheld message
A picket sign is a sign attached to a stick or pole, carried by protesters or strikers to display a message.
The format allows the sign to be held aloft and seen above a crowd: Union members marched outside the factory with picket signs demanding fair wages.
The term comes from picket lines, where workers stand outside a workplace during a strike.
