Sadly, many have used the term scab to describe those who work at a carrier that pays less than the "norm", whatever that $$ figure really is. When I see postings here that use the label "scab" in that vein, I immediately know that person has never been on strike and watched real scabs try to jump on their bones.
Imagine coming home from a picket line and finding your daughter crying because someone in the flight office called and because you were not home, they told your kid that you better get back to work or you'll lose your job.
You won't think the term sacb is antiquated, trust me.

The thing is though, I don't measure my worth in money.

It's from 'Trainspotting' by the way, and has nothing to do with reaming of any sort, but I'll never be able to look at it the same way again, and may even have to change it now. Damn.
(for the record though -- "yeah well he doesn't see you in terms of money either"... HUH??? Holy 180 Batman! You can do better...)

Not that I agree with the way "scab" is used sometimes. In the dictionary(Webster's) it DOES have one (of many) definition of "a worker who refuses to join a union, or works for lower wages or under different conditions than those accepted by the union"
