[QUOTE="Mplayers2006, post: 5711940, member: 100002"] The news was covering the UAW strike outside one of the Big 3 plants. During an interview, a truck pulled into the plant, but it was met by UAW members who called the driver a 'scab' as he approached the gate. But, is an independent trucker who does not perform union work considered a scab, and if so, why? The term 'scab' has multiple meanings, but it is often associated with union workers who don't join a labor union's effort or those who take the place of striking workers. However, the trucker in question does not work for the Big 3 nor perform a role done by the striking UAW members. Like many others, he's a regular American trying to earn an honest day's wage for modest compensation. He has no union, and he's working for the same reasons the UAW members are striking – to support their families and retire with dignity. [/QUOTE]
