> If my coworker says "I strike" and I stay at my desk, does that make me a "scab"?

Are you part of a union, with the striking worker?

Yes: you are a scab

No: you are not a scab

Did he have a CHOICE to be a part of a union? I sure didn't. It was mandatory- they had a legal right to a part of my paycheck.

It's like living in a country. If you disagree with the democratic government and actively oppose it's efforts are you traitor? That's a question of morals. No definitive answer.

You always have a choice to work for a non-union shop.

Unless they're not hiring, right? And you need a job yesterday- owing to biology and all that jazz...
