"not a great wage"

Probably because it's not a great job. Certainly not a great career, but a great motivator for not letting the grass grow under foot. Ken is simply identified as a "worker," who spent 23 years in a vulnerable dead end job, kept on life support by union intervention, but ultimately euthanized by same. I assume he wasn't a plant engineer with advanced degree in industrial engineering. He made $45K with benefits, pouring bread dough into baking tins, and claims they were taking from him?
