    Had to explain this to my dad when he told me about the carpenters unions not allowing his brother to work after he retired.

    1: Unions are the democratization of workplaces; for better or for worse.

    2: Should you really be working when you’re claiming retirement checks from your union?

    3: People are often falsely confident on their views about things. People love to complain about the government while hardly understanding anything about it. The same happens everywhere, including unions. Just because some dude is miffed doesn’t mean they have any right to be. They can be misinformed.
