During these years, there were a number of strikes as unions began to organize and demand decent wages. In general, blacks were willing to become "replacement workers," as the companies called them, or "scabs," as the unions called them.

Why were scabs unpopular during the late 1800' s?
To be unpopular it is necessary to be roundly disliked, or disrespected. Scab is a term invented by labor movements to describe non union workers who accept jobs with businesses who've ceased negotiating with unions. When unions go on strike and refuse to work because of breakdown in contract negotiations those people who "cross the picket" line to work are known as scabs and amongst unions and labor movements these people are not at all popular. The man who accepted a job because a union employee refuses to work, so that man might provide for his family is not unpopular with his family. It is doubtful he is unpopular with his friends and neighbors, he is just unpopular with labor movements. And the question should be why? If labor movements ever hope to seek any real validity as a necessary component of economics then they are going to have to learn more than they know about business. Unions and labor movements do not care if the business they work at is profitable and many believe profit is theft. The labor movement endeavors to sell themselves as the peoples advocate, asserting that most Americans today enjoy the five day work week, overtime pay, paid vacations, retirement funds and maternity leave because of their efforts. For some one who works on the weekends, has not had a vacation for years, is forced to ask his pregnant wife to work to help out with the bills, labor movements are no more than part of the reason he pays so much for fruits and vegetables at the store, pays so much for clothing and why he can't afford to buy a car. Labor takes credit for your prosperity whether you're prosperous or not and expects you to boycott any business they strike. How unpopular scabs were in the late 1800's doesn't compare to how unpopular unions and the labor movement have become today.
