Picketline solidarity is one of the foundations of trade unionism.

When you're on a picket line, it's sometimes the small things you appreciate most.

  • Inform your union about the issues. Make the connection between a strong public sector and the quality of life in our communities.
  • Call your City Councillor and Mayor Miller. Tell them you support the strikers.
  • Attend strike support rallies and demonstrations.
  • Stay informed. Beware of media coverage that is anti-labour.
  • Join the picket lines. Picketers love support. Inform the picket captain that you are on the picket line and which organization you represent.
  • Make donations in kind to the picket line. Coffee, donuts, food, fire wood, and whatever else is needed and requested.
  • Take a picketer out to lunch.
  • Write a letter to the editor.
  • Phone a call-in radio show.
  • Honk your horn when you drive by a picket line.
  • Organize an end-of-week social for the picketers; on the picket line or in a nearby hall.
  • Hug a picketer!
    • "The longer the line, the shorter the strike!"
