scabotage

The act of signing on as a temporary worker (scab) during a labour strike, with the actual intention of causing losses to the company hiring them and weakening their position with the striking workers. A portmanteau of "scab" and "sabotage."
1. The company lost millions of dollars in product and equipment to scabotage during the strike.
2. There's fine line between reminding the company that they get the labour they pay for, and outright scabotage.
