  Actually they may not be 'scab' labor. They might be illegal, they might have fake ID, but they also might have a union card too. When I worked as an electrician in a meat packing plant a few years ago, when we were hired on at IBP, part of the first day was doing paperwork. During that time the Teamsters came in complete with a Mexican speaker with union cards. At no time did they tell those in Spanish that the filling out of the union cards was voluntary, they made it sound manditory. With Texas being a 'free state' (non-union), this was strange. So apparently the unions that work in food production like having illegals because they won't challange anything, they will just 'sign the paper'. Note the following:
