Scabbing and crossing a picket line are decisions to hurt working people.
Ethical journalists minimize harm and hold power to account.
Ethical journalists don't scab.
Good people respect a picket line.
Don't cross the picket line: I belong to 1 of 5 unions on strike at the PG for 500+ days over workers losing health care and breaches of federal law. Taking or keeping a job at, talking to, or otherwise working with this co. violates us workers, our families and labor in general.
