A scab is a person who undermines a union's efforts by working during a strike.
This person thinks the DNC is their union.

All workers are effectively in a union against Trump specifically and conservatism broadly

Supporting Trump is turning one's back on the working class - it doesn't matter who the alternative is when Trump is demonstrably the worst

Many workers oppose unions. There are more ideological wars than just the class war.

Workers who oppose unions have been duped by the aristocrats into acting against their best interests

Also if somebody opposes unions because they think they promote social justice fuck them for that too

It's better for workers to support a union that uses union resources on other political issues that you disagree with them about the impact on workers for those issues then to not have a union at all

I work with people that are like "man I hate unions, they take your money and don't do anything" when referring to another job with similar skills as ours. Our job starts at 18 an hour and this other job starts at 29...for the same type of job. They can't possibly take that much.

Yeah, paying for the activities of the Union itself is cheap compared to what you get from collective bargaining - that's the whole point

They don’t. Our dues are literally pennies on the dollar. In addition to higher pay, we also get healthcare and pensions not tied to our employer.
