Quotation from: War of the Classes

Written by: Jack London


But the union laborers of the United States have nothing of which to
boast, while, according to their trade-union ethics, they have a
great deal of which to be ashamed. They passionately preach short
hours and big wages, the shorter the hours and the bigger the wages
the better. Their hatred for a scab is as terrible as the hatred of
a patriot for a traitor, of a Christian for a Judas. And in the
face of all this, they are as colossal scabs as the United States is
a colossal scab. For all of their boasted unions and high labor
ideals, they are about the most thoroughgoing scabs on the planet.
