Pittsburgh firm Allegheny Technologies has been involved in
a labor dispute with United Steelworkers that has led to 2,000 members being
locked out over the course of this month. A company Storm Engineering, which
finds scab workers to break strikes, has placed an ad on Craigslist looking for
workers to work 84-hour-week during the lockout. The company is very upfront
about that it is hiring scabs - “THIS IS
A LABOR DISPUTE SITUATION – EMPLOYEES WILL BE TRANSPORTED ACROSS A PICKET
LINE.”
In the UK, new proposed Tory legislation concerning the
employment of temporary workers during industrial action will result in similar adverts appearing in the local press and on websites.
