   I was just trying to put his description of scabs from the head on  
the feet.

   BTW, trade unions are more of a cartel to limit competition, other  
than a cartel of corporations or small shopkeepers which is threatened  
to be blown up by the individual interests of the seller.

   The unity and cohesion of a trade union of workers has a strong  
material foundation in the fact that workers in capitalism are the  
collective agent of production, they produce as a collective producer,  
and are as such in a common contradition to the disorganizing effect  
of the individual capitalist and his chaotic "free market".

   So, although being tied into the capitalist market system, dealing  
mainly with the sale of labor power as a commodity, a trade union is  
at the same time a harbinger of the future of collective production,  
and a school for this future.
