A large inflated rat such as this one, put up by union protesters in Woolwich, N.J. in 2001, has been guaranteed free speech rights in the state.

In a case that pitted an International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers union local against a central Jersey town, the high court ruled unanimously that the rodent is protected speech under the First Amendment.

The super-sized rat, sitting on its hind legs and bearing fangs, is a national symbol used by organized labor to signal a labor dispute.
