Join a Picket Line?
By staff - Labor Network for Sustainability, October 30, 2023
Picket lines are an essential way that workers show their determination and collective power. And they are a key way that others can show their support. Environmental, environmental justice, community, and other supporters have been joining picket lines at auto plants around the country to show their solidarity with striking auto workers.
Not on strike yourself but want to help workers who are? Then a new LNS publication, “How You Can Support Striking Workers: An LNS Guide to Solidarity,” is for you. It will tell you
- How to get informed about a strike even if you are not a participant
- How to find out about joining a picket line
- How to prepare to join a picket line
- Picket line do’s and don’ts
- Other ways to support strikers
As the Guide concludes,
When you turn out to support strikers, you are doing more than helping to win the strike. You are contributing to creating new relationships and helping create a movement based on common interests and mutual aid.
