Ontario Security Guard License Practice Test

An injunction, in the context of a labor dispute, is a court order that limits or controls certain actions. In this specific instance, option D: "A court order limiting the number of picketers allowed on the picket line" best describes an injunction. Courts will often issue this type of order to maintain the peace, prevent violence, or ensure the business that is being picketed can still operate. The injunction does not provide special powers to security guards or police officers, nor is it a legal right under the Charter of Rights & Freedoms. It also has nothing to do with the juncture point of an intersection where more than two streets meet. Hence, its most direct characterization is a court order that limits the number of people who are legally allowed to picket during a labor dispute.
