picketing

Read a random definition: assignment for benefit of creditors

A quick definition of picketing:

Picketing is when people stand outside a workplace or organization to protest about something, usually a disagreement with their employer. They hold signs with messages about their concerns and try to convince other people not to work or do business with the organization. This is a way for them to share information and express their opinions, which is allowed by law. However, there are rules about where and how picketing can happen.

A more thorough explanation:

Picketing is a way of protesting where people stand outside a workplace or organization to bring attention to an issue, often a disagreement between workers and their employer. The goal of picketing is to persuade employees or customers to stop working or doing business with the organization until the issue is resolved. Picketers usually hold signs with messages that explain their concerns.

Picketing is protected by the Constitution as a form of free speech, but it can be regulated to some extent. For example, picketing may be restricted if it is considered unfair or if it causes harm to the organization being picketed.

There are two main types of picketing:

  • Primary picketing: This type of picketing takes place at the workplace of the employer with whom the picketers have a dispute. The goal is to put pressure on the employer to resolve the issue.
  • Secondary picketing: This type of picketing takes place at the workplace of an employer who is not directly involved in the dispute. The goal is to put pressure on this neutral employer to stop doing business with the primary employer until the issue is resolved.

For example, if workers at a factory are on strike because they believe they are not being paid enough, they may picket outside the factory to bring attention to their cause. This is an example of primary picketing. If the workers also picket outside a store that sells products made by the factory, this is an example of secondary picketing.

I have not had a date change either for Mich but I've seen people get in without one so who knows

The "date changes" at Michigan really don't mean anything. We had to do them in undergrad admissions whenever a Georgia applicant picked the country instead of the state, because we'd have to remove the TOEFL requirement and reassign the application from the international application readers.

Classy, does that mean they may look at your application, and that look doesn't necessarily trigger any date change?

@soapy: I don't know for sure about the law school. For undergrad, once the application is complete, it's assigned to a reader the following Monday. If we had to make any changes, it's because a reader saw something that needed to be changed and the application needed to be re-read after that change.

Ahh, got it. Thank you for the insight!

You're welcome. FWIW, I have no idea what's up with the address changes. We didn't have to do any of that, except for the Georgia state vs country kinds of things.

I've heard it theorized that some schools will change the address from "St." --> "Street" as they prepare to send out admissions packets. That's the rumor, anyways.
