Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Strikebreakers are temporary workers who are hired during a strike to replace the striking workers. The purpose is often to put pressure on the striking workers by threatening their livelihoods and forcing them to return to work without their demands being met. Yellow dogs refer to workers who betray their union and work against their fellow workers during a strike. Wildcatters are workers who strike without union authorization, and underground employees are individuals who work illegally or without proper documentation.
