In the movie "Newsies," a scab refers to a person who continues to work or crosses a picket line during a strike, undermining the efforts of the striking workers. In the context of the film, scabs are individuals who sell newspapers while the newsboys are on strike for better wages and working conditions, betraying their fellow workers' solidarity. This term highlights the tension between labor and management, emphasizing the struggles for fair treatment and rights in the workplace.

Scabs or blacklegs were people willing to pass the picket line of striking workers. Often this meant the factory owners could continue producing, leaving the strikers to starve outside the factory gates.

Referring to those who work in place of striking union workers, scabs are unpopular because they interfere with the effectiveness of unions. If people are willing to work without union protection, unions lose their power.
It was a derogatory term for Strikebreakers who came in and took the jobs that workers were striking against.

Scabs. That is a worker who doesn't go out on strike with the rest of the work force and it is still used today by striking workers.
