picketing workers
Sign-carrying labor activists
Picketing workers are employees who protest outside a workplace during a labor dispute, typically standing at entrances with signs to publicize grievances and discourage others from entering.
The tactic aims to pressure employers and draw public attention: Picketing workers blocked the factory gates.
The phrase often appears in news coverage of strikes and union actions.
