@johnefrancis In another life, decades ago I was on a #PSAC union training program with some federal meat inspectors. This was back in the early 1980's when inspectors were on site inspecting on a daily basis. The beef inspectors never ate beef. the pork inspectors didn't eat pork and the chicken inspectors didn't eat chicken. None of them ate any kind of sausage. That was WITH neutral government inspection. It's no longer the case today.

Even after I retired from the Military, I was hired back as a Civilian with the Public Service #PSAC and learned that workers have rights! (I'd never been in a Union before, and I got active in it for a time)
The jobs I was called to do, were not overly skilled or paid. But, for the same money, you could have me, with decades of experience in everything. I was valuable to them, so they offered me up to 6 jobs in one week, until I returned again to the work force

I retired before I turned 50, so I returned to work in a Medical Facility (hospital) storing data/paying financial claims, & as a bonded carrier for secure deliveries on an Airforce base.
I also had my DJ business, in its heyday, I was looking to expand & hire, with 3 vans & 2 full sets of DJ gear to go on the road. The Taxman wanted all my money.
About then, my wife became disabled & our life plans had to be changed. #Life#Retirement#Retired
