    Apply for the job and waste their time. Lie all you want, since you don’t want the job anyway. Take it as far as you can, right up to calling in sick the first day if you get the job, string them along as long as you can.

      If you’re going to do that, complete all the mandatory paid training and call in sick right before the actual work.

      Besides just clogging up the recruiting pipeline you’ll take a training slot from an actual scab and make the bosses waste scab wages on training.

        If you have the time for all that you might as well join the striking workers outside instead of just calling in sick

          Punch in as a scab, THEN join the picket line, ya know, as you got lost collecting carts or something.

          Don’t forget to punch in and out for lunch!!
