1. Fuck scabs.

3. no. fuck the corporations that profit from pitting worker against worker

So-called "scabs" are human beings -- workers desperate to support themselves and their families.

4. Thanks, I know what scabs are.

Fuck 'em.

ETA: Believe me, I have plenty of contempt for companies that hire scabs as well.

5. wow. just wow.

I guess those fucking scabs should just take their families and go starve under a bridge.

6. Won't somebody please think of the scabs?

7. Saddest fact about scabs...

Is that the corporations are playing people like fiddles with em. Playing to their emotions - "if I don't give this person work, his entire family will starve!"

What about the ones the scabs are replacing? Hmm, no care for their familes? No concern that they might end up under a bridge? Or do they and their familes deserve what happens to them for daring to be apart of a union?

With as supportive as people are of anti-union tactics, is it any suprise that unions are slowing dying off?
