Strikebreakers

Strikebreakers, often called "scabs," are individuals who continue to work or take jobs during a labor strike, when unionized workers stop working to protest for better conditions or pay. Their presence can undermine the strike's effectiveness, making it harder for the striking workers to negotiate their demands. Strikebreakers may be hired by employers to maintain operations and reduce the financial impact of the strike. The use of strikebreakers often leads to tension and conflict between the striking workers and those who choose to work, as it can be seen as a betrayal of solidarity among laborers.
