Daxon:
You forgot to list the more relevant entry in the Encarta online dictionary, which is:
strikebreaker: somebody who continues to work during a strike, or who does a striker's job during a strike (disapproving)
I'm sure that was only an oversight on your part, but perhaps symptomatic for this whole dispute - because there is no strike, period
As for the definition in the Shorter Oxford dictionary, which relates to "workman"....well, there should be a difference between the behaviour of workmen and professionals, which was the very point I was making in my posting.
