Amanda,
I think the concept of a practice picket is fascinating! First, I want to say that I appreciate the insight you bring to our classroom discussions about organizing labor. If I sound totally clueless when I make a statement, it is probably because I am mostly clueless. I don't really know how I feel about unionization and look forward to taking employment law so that I might learn a thing or to and develop a responsible position. | |

< | With respect to your paper I think you do not spell out (because it is an obvious implication), what I find to be the most powerful justification under your "potentially useful" section: that practice runs always make the real thing easier. With respect to no-strike, no-picket clauses, practice pickets seem to be a great way to start angling against management. Even better, practice pickets are perfect for the employee's potential apprehension about striking in the first place. As your story confirms, it seems a lot easier to hold up a sign and chant for your rights in front of your employers when you realize how easy/simple/non-aggressive it is to hold up a sign and chant in the first place. | >

* blush * Thank you! And I appreciate your intellectual curiosity and open-mindedness. I'm looking forward to taking Employment Law too. Most of it will be new to me. I know a lot of labor law, but little employment law.
