DC Taxi Scabs

Due to today’s 24 hour strike, there were a lot fewer cabs lined up in front of Union Station than usual this morning, but there were still a few scabs out there:

    the “SCABS” written directly on the picture is a nice touch. how do you know these are scabs and not just part of the scant few cabs not taking part in the coup?

    Well, there really isn’t any such thing as a scab in this particular situation, since there is no cab driver union. There are several different cab driver organizations in DC and I don’t think they were all behind the strike and none of them represent all of the drivers.

    The strike is entirely voluntary and undertaken on a case by case basis. Anybody working today simply decided they didn’t agree with the points being made by those who supported a strike. The difference between these people and scabs during an actual union strike is subtle, I guess.
