No, I believe in unions and believe that it would hurt other chances. More trouble than it is worth.

I think we could cite many in the criminal realm who would certainly qualify.
Anyway, I think this is a test of loyalty in two forms: where we draw the line, and where we expect others to draw the line. Some believe that all sports officials are brethren. Others see each other as competitors, much in the same way businesses do. (For most, it's a combination of the two.) When expected loyalties from others don't match your own -- in any situation -- there's a feeling of betrayal, and the usual result is name-calling ("scab," in this case). In most places, betrayal, or even perceived betrayal, carries a heavy price. I'll go out on a short limb and say that most -- myself included --wouldn't blame MTD for feeling betrayed by the two who took work from the league that parted ways with him (as evidence by the 90% who wouldn't take work). However, I think it's naïve to expect loyalty from someone you never met. If someone else took an assignment that you rejected, and they don't know you or your circumstances, how can you rationally hold ill will toward them?
