Shelagh Fogarty - breakfast scab
Starting strikebreaking early in the day, Radio 5 co-anchor Shelagh Fogarty scabbed on her colleagues during the 2005 BBC strike.
At 7am on the day of the strike against 4,000 job cuts, Shelagh Fogarty, co-anchor of the 5 Live breakfast show, came on live, though without her sidekick Nicky Campbell.
Accidentally or deliberately, she didn't give herself a name-check, a strategy foiled by the sports reporter, Alistair Bruce-Ball, who cheerfully said "Thanks, Shelagh" as she handed over to him.

Liz Hurley - filmed advert during actors strike
Actress Elizabeth Hurley was fined £70,000 by her union for scabbing on a five month Screen Actors Guild (SAG) strike.

SAG members held demonstrations and film events Hurley attended, holding placards stating "Elizabeth Scabley, you make me Hurl."
She claimed not to know about it.
