Either a union or non-union employee who crosses the imaginary picket line and votes for a political party promoting job related policies contrary to the employee’s personal financial interests. Commonly associated with blustering, expressions of faux-patriotism, and numerous other questionable personality characteristics.
The airline captain is a political scab, more interested in voting for gun, security, and military policies than voting for the political party that will further his own labor contract provisions.

Get the Political Scab mug.1. Sometimes it's an excuse for immature, morally depraved, suburbanite dumbshits to get away with obvious hatred and bigotry. They'll cry "PC" as a means of making YOU look stupid for calling them on their bullshit, when you were completely in the right for doing so.
Ironically enough, when you label them with justifiable terms as "racist", "homophobe" or "bigot", they'll cry, bitch and whine that they're not and cover over it by saying that they're not "racist" and that you're just being "oversensitive", which is actually a form of "political correctness"...the very thing that they hate (totally not hypocritical!).
These are the same people who are under the impression that their freedom of speech rights are being legally taken away by Poltical Correctness, when the reality of the situation is that these people were stupid enough to bow out to FUCKING PEER PRESSURE.
You get what you deserve, assholes. Don't whine about "political correctness" impeding on your freedom of speech, whine about your lack of testicles and how you bowed out to societal pressures like little bitches! THAT is what restricted your freedom of speech.
These people claim that those who whine about "political correctness" are crybabies, but these idiots are no better.
2. Other times it's just over-sensitivity to certain things.

A Political Agender person ('a−' meaning "without"), also called Political genderless, Political genderfree, Political non-gendered, or ungendered, is someone who identifies as having no Political gender or being without a Political gender identity.

Get the political agender mug.Mealy-mouthed attempt at getting people to avoid superficial expressions of bigotry, which ends up debasing the language without dealing with the stupidity underlying most hates and fears. Merely ends up giving the bigots one more thing to snarl at and, yes, it really can impose a tyranny of its own. Many examples of allegedly common politically correct speech are urban myths ... which we could still have done without.
Some (real and imaginary) examples of political correctness:
You're not black (in the USA), you're African-American.
(As Whoopi Goldberg once commented, and I may be paraphrasing, "My ancestors didn't come through generations of the slave trade and the Civil Rights movement to end up hyphenated.")
You're not crippled, you're differently abled.
You're not a member of the Undead, you are biometrically challenged.
You're not an android, you are an artificial person.
