These other people may or may not be union members themselves. Whatever they might be, they are scabs because they took jobs that once belonged to the strikers.

However, if one of the union members decides to quit his job because he hates it there or he found something else better, the person hired to take his place is not a scab. In other words, if there is no strike, there can be no scabs.

So using this definition and this "fact pattern," Duck is not a scab. Right?

(I'd just like a "yes" or "no" answer since I don't want to turn this into yet another "what's a scab" thread).
