Workers use that word when they can't use the word 'scab'. It's just a means for labour to control employment.

  God forbid that labor would control itself

    Of course everyone wants to assert power and control over things. Some groups of labour want to ensure that other labour cannot get compensated. That's a fundamental part of unionization: preventing others from working. I think it's good for us to talk about these as they are: power struggles between factions.
