My dad’s reward for 25 years as a union organizer was forced retirement with pension.

Which is good! But he didn’t want to retire; it was unceremonious and abrupt and disrespectful.

Turned out after the FBI made him testify against the corruption of his bosses (who went to prison) the union was done with him.

I know it’s not the same since he got a pension and all, but still.

Unionize your work place, folks

Agreed. I will say that my dad did burn out on unions after seeing so much corruption, but he still believes in the idea.

Guess it’s like socialism: a decent idea, but people fuck it up with corruption and self-serving shit.

Still, unions are better than nothing.
