Bengalsfan,
I repeat -- do not, do not cross your union's picket line. Every scab has some sob story on why they had to cross. 99.9 % of the time, the strike will be resolved and the regular workers will be back and they will not be happy with you. Scabs are not to be talked to, hung around with and their kit bags end up all over the world. It is a very lonely existence. Personally, I would rather sell shoes than be a scab.
Here's a personal story on a scab. My old A/C from the Air Force got out in the late 80's, couldn't find a job, panicked, and crossed the line for Eastern. Sure he got to fly 757's for awhile, but at soon as Eastern shut down, he was branded for life. He ended up teaching 7th grade. There are many scab lists around.
Remember there is no excuse for being a low life scab!
Bears Fan!!
