Do you really need to call strike breakers "scabs"? It seems excessive to demonize workers that need job security / don't believe in unions / etc.

Yes. And the strikers don't need job security??

This is what it means to have solidarity with them. You don't sell them out.

Of course it's not easy.

You're attempting to shame and villainize people that disagree with the movement, and trying to justify that using meaningless buzzwords like "solidarity".

Why should the strikers not show solidarity with the non-strikers by stopping the strike? Or show solidarity with the health care workers by enduring difficult times for the common good?

Why do strikes always seem to be surrounded by such emotional rhetoric? To me, that's a warning sign that there's no underlying logic.
