picket lines at candidate events

[ashling]

I brought this question up in the course of another thread, but that thread seems to have been put to be, so to speak, so I will try my own:

If a union who is on strike and, in the course of that strike, pickets a ot of venues at which political events, fundraisers, speeches, etc. had been planned, generally democratic candidates will not cross the line out on general principles. However, if such union declares that they won't picket events of one political candidate, isn't this some sort of contributiion in kind from that union to that candidate unless, they do so for all of the candidates?

How much would it be worth?

I am not asking to "pile on" any particular candidate, it is just a question. What do you think?

1. I don't think that it would be a contribution.

It is a decision to allow an event to go forward, without pickets and not a comment one way or the other.
