This is easy I think. If they don’t participate in any revenue generation for the company they aren’t a scab. Being hired and going through training is a cost to the company, not revenue generation. So, not a scab. In fact, since they’d be on probation, younger and new, not inculcated into unionism, having the awareness to not cross that line and generate revenue would be a virtuous thing.
