Kaptin M:
I'm glad you find this amusing, but I'm not playing on semantics. The reason I whittled it down to the verb "to scab" was that in your own previous posting of definitions, you implied that "scab" did not necessarily mean a strikebreaker.
The whole point in this is that the term "scab" is totally unwarranted in the CX dispute, because there is no strike to break.
The use of "scab" is pure spin, and the HKAOA (and its various members) would far rather use their spin energy on trying to get a coherent message out as to what, precisely, their grievances are that make it OK for their own members to accept upgrades at the expense of fired colleagues, but not OK for newcomers to join the company.
This is a straightforward question, and it has been asked in this forum so many times, yet there has been no straightforward answer.
