But, I never took a non-Union job that undercut a Union contract OR crossed a picket line. Those are, by definition, equally onerous. And the name for them both is the same -- SCAB!

The way to the top of the food chain is NEVER over the bodies of people you've stabbed in the back. Then to ask those same guys for a jumpseat is the pinnacle of hypocrisy.
