Ode To A Scab by Jack London 1876-1916

After God had finished the rattlesnake, the toad, and the vampire, He had some awful substance left with which He made a scab. A scab is a two-legged animal with a corkscrew soul, a waterlogged brain, and a combination backbone made of jelly and glue. Where 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 a right to scab as long as there is a pool of water deep enough to drown his body in, or a rope long enough to hang his carcass with. Judas Iscariot was a gentleman compared with a scab. For betraying his Master, he had character enough to hang himself. A scab hasn't.

Esau sold his birthright for a mess of pottage. Judas Iscariot sold his savior for thirty pieces of silver. Benedict Arnold sold his country for a promise of a commission in the British Army. The modern strikebreaker sells his birthright, his country, his wife, his children, and his fellow men for an unfulfilled promise from his employer, trust, or corporation

Solidarity wins

Race-Treason Has Always Been an Upper-Class Scheme


The Republican started the Civil War because they wanted to turn the freed slaves into cheap and grateful scab labor in the North's sweatshops. By the way, Jack London firmly believed in White superiority.

Treason Is Not a Property Right

Outsourcing is treason, the effective punishment for which is confiscation of all profits made by the Judases, including retailers of foreign junk. So the Walmart HeirHead parasites owe us $240 billion.

this economy isnt all "wages", and if you prohibit independent contractors by repealing right to work
you shut out a good part of the gig economy, or they lose their freedom to set their own hours etc

make yourself valuable.. get a skill, get training , sell it = get a gig

Tuition Is Bribery


We'll continue to slide unless we pay the right people, those with the most natural talent for those skills, high wages during training. That will get the best and get them to study; no one else should be allowed in those fields, no matter how much he or his father is willing to sacrifice to buy him those jobs.

dues too high, not believing the benefits are worth the expense, disagreeing with union's political contributions........and other stuff

As a union rep, I always felt that there needed to be a special place in hell for workers who identified with republicans, the exploiters of the working class.
"Right to Work" Republicans...truly the most disgusting specimens that humanity can muster.
My hatred for them is profound and viscerally felt. You may have noticed.

That's what made me a good and effective union rep, however. Solidarity with the working class. Certainly with the ones who displayed it themselves.
Amusing how people on this forum have called me a privileged elitist considering the efforts I've expended on behalf of abused working people.

In those states that prohibit strikes or collective bargaining for public employees many employees do not see any benefits from the union membership (example, teachers). Many of those employees quit the union after the Janus case.

The was also the Beck ruling which states that unions cannot collect dues and use them for other than collective bargaining purposes without the consent of the member. Given that about a third or more of union members don't vote Democrat, that was a powerful hit on unions supporting politicians who are almost always Democrats.

If you'd been my union rep, the first words out of my mouth on meeting you would be How do you feel about the Beck ruling? I bet you'd have run away in panic and never talked to me again.

Not at all. As a small business and being the owner/manager/HR/CFO/etc. his hands were already completely tied. He simply didn’t have the time to deal,with some outside union boss/thug in any labor negotiations that come up annually. He was already paying his employees better than union anyway.
Nope, just another example of how unions can backfire on their members.
Alaska is an “at will” state. Unionization would have negated that according to my buddy.
As a former small business owner myself I can’t tell you how well that streamlines getting rid of shit employees that are a drain on the business.

Only Little Minds Glorify Big Shots


If employees can't fire shit bosses, that lack of balance is tyranny.

He’d have a couple of his goons take care of you.

While the anti-union conservatives on this forum have, for the most part, done little more that type ludicrous posts as they ejaculate all over their laptops and phones,

I have actually worked vary hard on behalf of organized labor for decades of my life.

I earned my right to disrespect these anti-labor slugs like the vile, perverted, diseased, and repugnant devolved mutants that they have to be.
given their repulsive disrespect for the working class into which they themselves were born and have lived.

From where the fuck do such deplorable cretins and troglodytes emerge?
What sort of depraved perverts brought them up? What kind of society tolerates them, even minimally?
Why do they play limbo stick while decent people are trying to scale the bar?

If we need any undeniable proof that this existence is nothing more than the random confluence of matter, these despicable scabs provide it spectacularly.
There is no benign deity that would imagine them, much less create them. This is obvious to any minimally sane person.

Okay, I'll bite:

If I were in the union you were in, what exactly would that union do for me? How much of my paycheck would I have to fork over in dues?

Unions are created by bad businesses. The fact is owners will maximize profits at the expense of employees. They will and have since industry started, abused employees and cheated them. One employee cannot stand up to a company. You are replaceable. All the employees walking out teaches them who makes their profits.
The Triangle shirt company disaster sparked unions in America. They had lots of young girls making shirts and they chained the doors to make sure they did not step out for a break. Then a fire started killing many. https://www.history.com/topics/early-20th-century-us/triangle-shirtwaist-fire
My grandfather came to America and was a coal miner. He mined in Pa. and then Colorado. The miners were being horribly mistreated. When they started a union the company hired goons to beat them and shoot them. The union organizers were in a church for a meeting. The doors were barred and the building was set on fire.
In Detroit, Ford motor created a mafia type police force to "keep organizers in line'. They were beaten and killed. The workers had to battle for decent treatment.

When Unions Were Strong, the Whole Company Had to Be Strong


The pro-union posters are omitting the fact that unionization forces the owners to get rid of deadwood management. This is what happened in baseball, where, before unionization, the paper-shuffling management was making such easy money they didn't have to be very competent or put much work in marketing. They've produced far more revenue since unionization forced them to be really good at their jobs.

Michigan Democrats just repealed laws on Right-to-work in Michigan that are now over a decade old. They pandered to the unions and took away worker rights to not be in a union if they chose not to be.

Michigan Democrats move quickly to repeal right-to-work

The idiots in Michigan voted for this. I don't feel a bit sorry for them. Perhaps after a few years of malaise and Fascism they will correct course. :palm:

On the other hand, businesses are forced to keep marginal and poor workers who are protected by the union from being fired, and usually even from being seriously disciplined... Or, being forced to hire more people because the union is inflexible on who can perform what job within the company. Unions are every bit as potentially bad for a company as bad management.
