(3) Any person, with a purpose of instigating, inducing, procuring, bringing about, coercing, or inciting any such strike or concerted action or a continuation thereof, to picket or to establish or maintain a picket line of one or more persons, where an object of any such strike, concerted action, or picketing is to:
