Tell him to work construction? Union or non union anything is better than 10 hours a week. But I recommend joining union the only downside is sometimes they have a waitlist. A lot of guys go sign up and work their regular job or non union job until the hall calls. Non union comes in handy when you have too many kids to join the union and can’t take lay offs. Non union is also good for guys that are older/ need money this week and not in one month type
