KTO The corporate world loves little management lapdogs like you, begging for his masters scraps. why not just put on a shirt and tie and suck your way up? OR perhaps like so many other SCAB SCUM you have something lurking in your past that keeps you from gaining FULL TIME EMPLOYMENT? If Not, You Will Now
You know what I've found out about people of your nature local12? You are so benign and gutless you have to have a union and a gang behind you for you to feel worthy of yourself. Without them you know in your heart and mind you are a lonely desperate soul. I am an individual I stand alone and think outside the box I am by no means a team player and that is why people like yourself and management despise me so much. You are afraid.

Jack London's
PORTRAIT OF A SCAB
JACK LONDON, the famous author of such American classics as the Iron Heel, Martin Eden, The Call of the Wild and other works, didn't have a very high opinion of scabs. Having sweated at scores of jobs before he became a successful writer, London studied the flora and fauna of scabdom at close range.
Written many years ago, Jack Londons description is just as appropriate today as it was when he first penned it.
"After god had finished the rattlesnake, the toad, the vampire, he had some awful substance left over with which he made a scab. A scab is a two-legged animal with a corkscrew soul, a water logged brain and a combination backbone of jelly and glue. Where the others have hearts, he carries a tumor of rotten principles.
When a scab comes down the street, men turn their backs and angels weep in Heaven and the devil shuts the gates of Hell to keep him out.
No man has the right to scab so long as there is a pool of water to drown his carcass in, or a rope long enough to hang his body with
Judas Iscariot was a gentleman compared with a scab. For betraying his Master, he had character enough to hang himself. A scab has not.
Strikebreaker is a traitor to his god, his country, his wife, his family and his class. A REAL MAN NEVER BECOMES A STRIKEBREAKER."
Jack London said it best. This is what your being consists of if you cross that AMFA picket line tomorrow, it will follow you the rest of your life, that is a fact. I hope you suffer the scab curse the rest of your meaningless days. You have a choice not to be a scab.
