I'm not saying you should sign up, interview, get the job, and then ghost them. That's NOT what I'm telling you to do.
Is there a way to apply and be a scab?
But id be the absolute worst employee. Like they'd tell me to do something and I'd do bare minimum while also shouting, "Well shit y'all can use a union."
I'm fully employed already in a salary position in a major tech company.
Yeah first day of work they'd find me 2 hours later deep in aisle 12 with a case of beer and open bags of doritos strewn about.
Interviewing candidates takes time, and its a huge pain in the ass if your new hires simply don't show up.
This was my immediate thought too - interview and let them think they have lots of backup scabs then when they call on you, join the strike.
This is why they want TFWs: they can't quit and will do almost anything to avoid being fired because they risk being deported. Modern day slavery.
It's targeted at uneducated people who think they'll be owning the libs and who are only going to work there "temporarily" anyway.
It works more often than you'd think. Let them get the bottom of the barrel and let the business suffer.
