Am I a scab?

[TomFromNawlins]

if you are a scab, you should be proud of yourself for being one as unions are garbage. Nice balloon rat, stupid.

 

[TheGhostOfBernellTrammell]

Yeah if you're a software developer. I'm actually helping with interviews soon no joke lol.

They got any of that WFH going on? The pay decent? I could always use a second job I slack around at.

I saw a thread about Pat being a scab when he lied about writing a screenplay during the WGA strike.

I didn't even know what a scab was. My work is on strike except me because I didn't wanna pay the union fee. But I still don't really have to work coz my whole team isn't working.

Ya you are a scab. It's all well and good to skip the dues and everything, but what happens in my job if you leave the union is you now deal with management on your own. And our management have firing quotas lol. Even if they know that the union will get you your job back (while getting you paid for the days you were "fired), so good luck. I don't really like my union per sebut they are better than the bosses

Someone on twitter told Pat he was a scab even though he wasn't in the union, but it's twitter.

Anyone who crosses the line to do union work is a scab.

People seem oddly perplexed by the defintion.

When a bunch of "scabs" come onto a job site or factory, do they think the company was just hiring from within the union to find the scabs???

The term scab applies to members who cross, non members who replace members, and workers who don't belong and still work during a job action. It's unusual that a job in the tech sector that didn't include building the physical network would be unionized. What union are they part of? Is it some small "just the company" thing or part of an international?

He's not a union member and has no obligation to strike with them. He's not replacing a union worker because he was already there. Not a scab.

If he resigned from a union or refused to join it he's still a scab. He said in later posts he isn't management. So he is a bargaining unit employee (not management) doing his normal job (while everyone else strikes). So he crossed the picket line. That's just true no real judgement on my part. To be honest, I'm in a blue collar union where it makes a hell of a lot more sense to be in a union, we do dangerous hard jobs and we don't get severance if and when we get walked out by the effete cunts that manage us.

Good man, unions are important in real industry, fast food work not so much. I did find in my years that most ofn the leadershio just didn't want to be (insert trade or job), but rather play lawyer. I'd get sick watching my BA chat nicely about the kids and stuff to guys who fired a guy for a mistake. I spent time as a unit chairman for like 900 employees and I didn't really like what the union had become. Plus we had a terrible kike lawyer as our lawyer.

Im thinking about running for steward at some point bc our current guys are go along to get along types, if not making side deals for their buddies to get away with murder. I will say that when my current steward fought for my closest friend who is a coworker to get his back, he fought really dirty and it was great to see. He basically got the overall district manager to agree that our supervisor is a liar and a liability. But if you have something small with the company he kinda doesn't give a shit

That's not so bad, small shit sucks but getting guys back on the property especially with 10-20 years is a big thing. You should run, the best change can only happen if good people step up.

Dude, just not joining a union doesn't make you a scab. He isn't crossing a picket line because it isn't his line. Hes not a member and has no obligation to go out with them. They don't get to dictate taht all employees are union members or make ultimatums to non members. They have no power over him. What are they going to do? kick him out of the union he didn't want to join in the first place? Management decides if he keeps his job, not them. They can't even hurt his future prospects unless hes going somewhere else in the future that's a 100 percent union shop, which he won't. You Think weird shit about employment, dude.


Edit: even if he DID go out on strike with them, hes no union so the bosses could just fire him. Then would the union help him? No. So why would he stick his neck out for them? Even if they did itd only be if he started coughing up dues.

sounds like your management is just forcing the place towards being a 100 percent union shop on purpose. which is fucked up because Unions are supposed to be helping workers, not giving them no choice but to join so they don't really have to do anything to earn their membership

He’s still a scab, dude. I don’t care about it, unions are usually gay but if you’re doing the work a union covers while the union is on strike then you’re a scab.

If I were to resign from my union I would still be in the union healthcare plan and pension. Of course they want you paying dues what's difficult to understand about that

He was never In the union you dummy. He. Owes. Them. Nothing. And. They. Owe. Him. Nothing. Do you think anyone working a job where some people are union should be forced to join the union? If so you're no in favor of helping workers, just the union's bottom line

I guess I could see how a smooth brain could believe that.

If he's non-management and receiving the same wage scale and benefits as the union employees he's benefiting from the collectively bargained contract without paying dues. The whole question here is if he's management which he implied he is not, ie while he declined to join the union he is more than likely in the benefits plan and wage scale system. Settle the fuck down

If you think any non union worker is a scab we can just stop here. You are an idiot who thinks this guy owes loyalty to an organization that he's not a member of. I'm talking about this posters individual situation not in general because I don't care. Again what if hegies out not being a member and the company fired him, what will he do then and will your precious union help him? This answer is all I'm looking for.
