Ther's a really really BIG rat in front of my building

There's some sort of protest going on. Something about carpenters.
But they don't look like carpenters to me.

Dunno what's with the rat.

A rat is a term given to non-union companies/people in the construction trade.

Also, someone that crosses a picket line to go back to work before a settlement is reached is called a SCAB. (family has to eat right?)

I suppose its better than... well, something worse.
