DWTK - scabs

[Desmo]

What is the opposite to scab in relation to Unions and their members?
Is it scum?

[Crashlington]

Militant

Scabs is a local bike rider hangout, I believe it's near Scarborough Beach. Some people call it Scarbs also.

The opposite to a scab these days is "sook who doesnt want to do any work".

For $140K+ per year, I'd even clean the room before I handed the next guy.
Why do these fucks get high paying jobs? Sack them all.

Not bad enough to strike though. By which I mean, go for a ride, have lunch in the city, do some shopping or maybe go to the beach

I didn't see one sign or picket line! Worst strike evar.

unionist

A fellow I know was once paid quite hansomly to go into construction sites that were on strike and keep working. There's a name for such a practice, but it escapes me just now.

Nah, a scab's just a non-union worker. This guy was actually paid by the construction company to go in and stir shit up.

As the premier said, "It's all about where someone's going to hang a picture in their room. Move on!"

How come Union workers that don't strike get called scabs?

My bad, I thought you were refering to this fellow.

[Melchior]

Well I'm lost now, but hey, it's all in good fun.

[ratman]

Yeah, the opposite would be millitant. The "scab" is usual non-union labour, though, even if you are in the union and choose to continue working you'll get branded the same.

Not quite buddy. There's are few issues wrapped up in this one, and as usual "Uncle" Col is taking out the little piece that suits his current agenda.

I can tell you the true story, but who knows if Mr Woodside or Mr FWW is standing in the shadows on here?

[Desmo]

Fuck off.
These blokes get paid $140K+ a year and are bitching about their accomodation, the other issues are probably that they are out of chocolate ice cream in the mess and that port of call doesn't have enough sluts to service their ugly, union card carrying, dumb fucking arses.
It's a pity they can't just be sacked, I know a lot of people who would be damn grateful for that sort of wage and opportunity in the industry.
Sacks of shit, all of them.
Fuck them and fuck the CFMEU.

[Flamedance]

Yeah the boom of the past few years has spoiled them. The amount of workers I saw through the motel who demanded 4 star accom on top of the stupid $$$ they earnt made me sick! Hence why a standard beer cost $15 at my bar
We had one crew in dirtiest pieces of scum I have ever seen who threatened to walk out on the contract because the rooms were not fitted with king beds and lcd tvs! Are they there to work or to lie in bed watching tv? The world is fucked when pricks get away with this sort of shit.

[Melchior]

Gotta agree with the above two posts. When I was FIFO I didnt make anywhere near $140k and we didnt have tvs, good beds, or even our own dunny and shower...

Bunch of fuckin girls.
And coming from me, that's an insult because I'm pretty soft.
