I want my question answered, since you made the ridiculous statement that people on the other side of the strike issue were calling AMLU umpires names comparable to "scab." I said that's BS. Show me the harsh names that are being attached to the minor league umpires who quit their jobs.
Steve,

I recall that in one of the older threads someone tried to compare a MiLB umpire that worked HS or College games to a scab. When it was brought out that the umpire(s) in question were long time members of the respective associations and that the games had been scheduled well before the strike, the issue was dropped.

Since SOMEONE is going to ask, the AMLU stance is that members will work HS or college games only when no qualified umpire is available to the association. IE: they are not out there taking games away while asking us not to do MiLB games.
