It's common lingo over here to refer to the union goons during a strike, the professional thugs the union hires and sends in to raise hell, incite civil disobedience among the strikers, and, when "necessary", to beat the heads in of scabs and strikebreakers. Or we might say "Don't cross that picket line, or the union will send in the goons."
