Stu is a Scab

Stu decided to help our family earn some extra money-to do this he became a scab.

By definition a scab is: a worker that takes a striking worker's place on the job.

In Pennsylvania at Temple University Hospital their nurses went on strike. Just because nurses go on strike does not mean that people do not get sick. This hospital hired out nurses at a higher rate to come in and take care of their patients. Stu was one of them. He went to Pennsylvania for a week, working 14+ days and making $60 an hour. Although he said the work was getting easier as each day passed, he realized just how advance the hospital he works for here in Salt Lake is. The hospital in PA was "in the ice age" according to Stu. His week trip marked the 1st time we had ever been away from each other since we met. But the week flew by and knowing that his sacrifice for our family made the departure so much easier.
Thankfully Stu said he would do this again if another strike came up. He feels bad that he is 'crossing the line' but when the money is good.....
