Operating Successfully during a Strike

[Donsa320]

How about the managers and salaried employees who are trained to work in place of the mechanics. Are they considered scabs though they are managers? Lets say they used to be a mechanic, now they are a manager. They then work as mechanics again during the strike, then back to a manager after the strike.


The managers do not have the ability to honor the picket line. In order to keep their jobs (and even to qualify for unemployment benefits) they must do as the company asks.

What is the common perception of a worker like that?

The usual perception has been that they had no choice and probably there are not enough of them to make the strike ineffectual anyway. But every case is different.
