A Striker Confronts a SCAB!

Tools of Management Scabs - workers hired to replace those who went on strike Pinkertons – detectives hired to report on efforts to unionize and to put a stop to it. Yellowdog Contracts - contracts a worker had to sign to get a job in which he agrees NOT to join a union Blacklisting – putting out negative information on you so no other company will hire you Lockout – Businesses literally locked their doors

Cont Court Injunctions – court orders to return to work Open shop- a business where no one had to join a union and anyone could work- this is the opposite of a “closed shop” where a person MUST be a union member to work there

Tools of Labor Sympathy demonstrations – other businesses would walk off their jobs in support of a striking union Closed Shops- businesses that required you be a union member to get a job there Strikes- walking off your job and refusing to work until management agrees to your demands
