217. No one is defending violence - & your "friend" was a Scab

Thu Feb 20, 2014, 11:05 AM

Feb 2014

And worse than a Scab - usually Scabs are non-members who cross the line to do the work the union is not doing. But by your account your "friend" was a member.

There's this concept called "solidarity." You think that all the others on the strike line were living on easy street and that a strike was not hard on them too? You think there were not parents on that line wondering how they were going to feed their kids? How they were going to keep a roof over their heads? I can assure you, there were. Because there always are.

Unions hold a VOTE to go on strike - and if you are a union member you abide by the vote and stand with your Sisters and Brothers. Strikes are never undertaken lightly. They are always a last resort.

No one is defending violence. But this has nothing to do with vote manipulation or intimidation. If the union was on strike, the vote to strike had already been taken.
