Scab vs. Non Scab ?

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

Think Its time for a new steward.

Been mentioned in circles. I'm a short timer. I worry about being able to walk , when I finally walk out the door. Complainers don't lead. Just blame others.[/quote]
Anybody else,willing to step up?

I have never said that I want to get more involved in the union.

I guess it's open to interpretation.

Whenever I see a non union trucker and he looks like a slob is rude and cuts me off at the last minute throws a bottle of yellow trucker tea or drives one of this rigs that you eat sleep and in I call him a scab in my mind. I know this isn't right but I'm only human. I need to work on this. I know.

A scab is someone who crosses of crossed a picket line in a strike.

Our shop steward shows up 1 minute before start unless he is asked to come in earlier to discuss grievances or for training. He could come in a bit earlier and have an informal meeting to address any concerns or relay any information from the BA. I like this idea.

That doesn't sound like a good steward at all.

I agree. Our Stewart works 6-7 days a month. Comes in for bagels on Friday's

That sounds like a scab to me.

To be fair, he is a very good steward----when he shows up.

I'm not a Stewart, but people know I know the contract and go to meetings, so I make myself available to anyone and speak with the Stewart frequently.

It's good to meet you Stewart.

Yes----I asked the question knowing full well what the answer was.

There is more on this tragedy in the Car and Bike thread.

Is a scab just a name for a non union employee OR an employee of either form (non union or union and/or non union that crosses a picket line) ?

I know the answer , but for shyts and giggles , some of my coworkers don't . Just seeking unbiased clarification from outside source's .


And judging by some of the headers I see posted , alot of folks need educating on everything from :What is a Union to Cardinal sins . Reading some of the headers are just entertaining to say the least .

By definition a scab is someone that crosses a picket line. However, on this site many refer to non-union hourly employees as scabs too. I'm guessing that they only exist in RTW states. Personally I wish there was another name for them. Some "scabs" are new part-timers and I don't blame them for not joining right away. But the rest deserve their own title. "Scab" should be reserved for those that cross a picket line. During the 97 strike there was only one driver that crossed here and they were a union member.

Comments like this is why people have issues with you.
Unless it is a joke, then never mind.
