You walked away from high paying jobs, most of you with 5 weeks paid vacation, full benefits including tuition, adoption, employee assistance programs, etc. All so Bernie could get some free press.

You are helping the company and taking our jobs, therefore you are currently acting as scabs. Who is a scab is determined by labor not management. At best you could say you were highly pressured and threatened by the company to do scab work, and you... — read more
