often ending up under conditions he/she wouldn't even have scabbed for. No matter. A SCAB doesn't think long term, nor does he think of anything other
then himself. His smile shows fangs that drip with your blood, for he willingly destroys families, lives, careers, opportunities and professions at the drop of
a hat. He takes from a striker what he knows he could never earn by his own merit: a decent Job. He steals that which others earned at the bargaining
table through blood, sweat and tears, and throws it away in an instant - ruining lives, jobs and careers.
ONCE A SCAB, ALWAYS A SCAB - NEVER FORGET!
By reading this I assume that you are saying that if you are already employed at a job and the rest of your colleagues go on strike and you decide not to, you aren't a scab? By saying you took a job you couldn't have gotten by normal means, that is what you are insinuating. I hope you don't really mean that.
