He can live like a potentate if he can get a state job there:

(one example - 11,000 employees of the state prison system make over 100 grand per year and 900 over 200 grand, truly a fools paradise)

I suspect that he’ll probably be thrown overboard by his union next time a contract comes up. He’s proven himself to be a troublemaker and I wouldn’t be surprised if getting rid of him becomes part of negotiations. The company will give a quarter over the next year but only if he’s gone.

I saw it happen to our in house organizer when I was in the AFL-CIO. We got our raise and the troublemaker was fired for the first minor screw up with no protest from the union.
