It took me far too many braincells to realize that this headline means "being mean to scabs is effective" and not "being mean to scabs is, itself, doing work."

Maybe I need to use the sleep.

"being mean to scabs is, itself, doing work."

Volunteer work is also work, and I'll gladly do this for free.

Although if I could be paid to be on strike I think that would be best.

Hey, if it paid a living wage I would be mean to scabs professionally, 8 hours a day, 5 days a week.

I'd do the same 8 hours a day, but I'm taking Fridays off as well, tyvm.

This is literally the job of labor union leaders. Go be one! We need more.

If the being mean to scabs union goes on strike, what happens if a member of the union scabs?
