The original plan was for picketing or some similar purpose. The event has been repurposed as a more friendly get together. It is my understanding that the union elected to not ruffle company feathers in the middle of these discussions.

My understanding is that this is an official picketing event.

Agreed - Cujo had said that previously picketing events had been postponed to not ruffle the wrong people. Their (management) proposal apparently ruffled the union's enough that it is time to go back on the offensive.

What is the goal of picketing? I don't foresee any passengers cancelling their trips because were unhappy. The company isn't going to crumble because we're angry. I understand the unity of the idea, and trying to put our grievances in a public light, I just question the effectiveness if the gesture.

You have 2 weapons as organized labor:
Public opinion as propagated through picketing and publishing and the ultimate self help tool - withholding services - a strike.
An illegal job action is a 3rd but judges can recoup those losses in favor of the company.
