Never cross a line.

The biggest "win" for any college official is to have the integrity to refuse to work as a replacement during a strike.

I find the eagerness with which some would work NBA games during a lockout or strike to be repulsive. The replacement officials would be paid well, and on a scale negotiated by the union through collective bargaining. The pay was set at the bargaining table, where the employees' only leverage is the right to strike. Now, because they're using that leverage, you'd undercut the very tool that allowed you to be paid the wage you'd make as a replacemente official?

There is nothing as despicable as a scab.
