No once they cross the picket line they are strike breakers and there is nothing worse or lower than that. Also may not be popular on
here but if a mate crossed the picket line I would treat him differently at work but the same as now when outside. Mind you
we would have a few long conversations.

If they cross the line then it is they who have broken the code. This decision was taken democratically through a ballot.
It was only one day, the rights we now enjoy came from men and women who went through decades of industrial strife.
It is a discrace that people who go on holiday, drive cars, have satillite tv can't go on strike for principles.
I will never be the same to those who choice money over solidarity. NEVER CROSS A PICKET LINE. PERIOD!

Great post brother. There's only one way to deal with strike breakers.

why would you treat a mate diffrentley at work than outside? sounds a bit false to me,blank him at work but talk to him outside?once a scab always a scab!

To be honest have not yet had this problem as we were a 100% out office last time and none of my mates are talking about breaking the strike yet. However, if you can get a scab back on strike surely thats a victory for the union. We can at least try to change their mind.

Shame no one will say "scab" to there mates when then cross the picket line, its a lost cause RM have got their way no one can afford 6 months of one or two days a week without pay.
