When people go on strike, a company needs to keep functioning. A company will bring people in to work while the strike is going on. These workers are called scabs.

Who replaces a worker gone on strike?

A very political situation. When strike action occurs it is hoped by a controlling union that all employees will "down tools" and stop work. However, since the 1970's the role of unions has according to some diminished as less and less people join a body. When a strike is called it is now possible that non union workers will be told to take on the roles left open until the strike is over. Many names have been used to describe these people who, only try to stay employed and earn a wage. Terms used are strike breakers, scabs (heard in the UK during the 1980's when the collieries went on strike). The "closed shop" where a union is fully supported by a 100% employee membership has long since disappeared. Some organisations have introduced no strike rules, employed agency staff who are on rolling contracts and are not eligible to join a union or strike


What are the advantages of strike to employees?

The advantages: 1. Well, you don't have to go to work! YAY! 2. You get to spend time with your family and friends! YAY! 3. If your boss agrees to your offer, YAY! 4. You get to go to places at your work time. YAY! The strike is the main, often the sole, threat the union has against the employer. By agreeing NOT to strike during the term of a contract, the union gains concessions from the employer. WHile on strike, strikers receive zero paychecks. Union strike funds do not pay as much as a job. Strikers are denioed unemployment benefits paid for by the employer. Contributions to pension plans stop. They must pay cash for medical premiums to retain med insurance. They will be replaced in many jobs, perhaps permanently. Strikers who win pay increases remain unpaid for the days they were on strike, so it takes years for the pay raise to make up for the strike.
