Agreed, it is a term thrown around too often. I tossed it once early in my career, and a long-time union man said "Whoa, hold on-- we don't have any scabs on this operation, because to earn that title, you have to cross a picket line. We've never had a strike. Call them freeloaders."
Much like the term "racist" is tossed around by any number of people...the term has been tossed about so freely, most using it no longer have any clue what a real one is.
