Remember Simplex Wire in Newington NH, 1977?
The company is still running and doing very well.

I'm having trouble getting my head around this...
1. MB isn't a union shop. I've always understood the term scab to be a reference to non-union employees in a union shop.
2. According to the news the employees are protesting during their off time so they should have no reason to worry about being fired, especially since MB issued a note saying they could come back Monday with no fear of retribution.
3. Have any benefits actually been cut or changed in any way? The media leaves me with the impression that the answer is no.
I'm not trying to take a position on the issue. I just wonder how it got to the point where employees are protesting, customers are forced to shop elsewhere and both politicians and MB are using the media to reiterate laws and advertise job fairs.
