No, we do not get paid for picket duty. Years ago our members were asked to picket certain jobsites if we were out of work. Now instead of doing that every member is required to picket twice a year regardless of whether we are working or not. It's better that way. There were years where I spent 4-6 weeks out of the year picketing various jobsites and some members didn't picket at all. Now it's just a few days and every member shares picket duty equally.
