  #SAVESCABBY | "Scabby the Rat, the inflated, gnarly pest that unions tote to job actions, is a complex character. Born in Chicago, he for years has turned up at labor disputes around the country, sometimes with sidekicks like the Fat Cat or Greedy Pig. He has a real fan base and some enemies, like any celebrity. Among the latter is Peter Robb, general counsel of the National Labor Relations Board, who has argued that Scabby’s very presence outside a workplace can be 'confrontational, threatening and coercive' and therefore should be restricted. In Chicago, the reaction from unions that have nurtured Scabby is something akin to, 'You just try it, pal.'"
