A strikebreaker(aka scab) is someone who takes strikers' place in fulfilling the workload needs, thus helping the employer to withstand strike pressure.
I hear scab so much more than "strikebreaker" that the word strikebreaker sounds weird to me like it doesn't exist. Scab is the better known word.
Also, I always pictured strike breakers as the private hogs who would beat up striking workers
Like the Pinkertons or
Haha, didn’t refresh recently enough
Gotta put an onion on your belt
I get strikebreakers mixed up with Pinkertons for some reason and think of them more as people who violently break up strikes than scabs who are crossing the picket line, but it doesn’t seem like that’s the standard meaning.
Strikebreaker sounds like someone is breaking up the strike, i.e. Pinkerton.

i wonder if it's a translation issue?
Strikebreaker is the correct word. A scab is a strikebreaker.

I think it is a translation thing. In Russian a scab is штрейкбрехер, which is a loanword from German Streikbrecher, so translating it as a strikebreaker feels completely natural.
