Publicity, other than picketing for the purposes of truthfully advising the public that the products of the employer against whom the union is striking are being distributed by another employer, is prohibited according to the provisions of Section 8(b) (4).

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Section 8(b)(4) of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) does not prohibit all forms of publicity. It specifically prohibits certain types of secondary boycotts but allows for the truthfully advising the public, including picketing, about a labor dispute as long as it does not involve threats, coercion, or restraint against a neutral party.
