Word quickly gets out to the rest of the cohort--but not wanting to get anyone kicked out, Ana refuses to name names. With their program director insisting there's nothing she can do to intervene if no one will name the perpetrator, the class becomes engulfed in a campaign to protect Ana that splits the group into two camps. Some of the men join the women to fight the harassment; some of the women join the harassers. In short order, the conflict becomes a fight for power that divides along race, sex, LGBTQ, and class lines--mirroring the heartbreaking history of the labor movement, and serving as a precursor to our current political landscape. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA galvanizing behind-the-scenes look at the labor movement of the 1990s, \u003ci\u003eScabmuggers \u003c\/i\u003eis ultimately a triumphant tale of women's empowerment.
