I'd say Merriam-Webster about sums it up:
a : a contemptible person
b (1) :
a worker who refuses to join a labor union (2) : a union member who refuses to strike or returns to work before a strike has ended (3) :
a worker who accepts employment or replaces a union worker during a strike (4) :
one who works for less than union wages or on nonunion terms
