New job at work (machinist)

My brother in law was an old school machinist until a contract dispute shut down the shop. ( Long story but the guys went on strike for a year...the owner told the guys he was going to shut it down but they didn't listen. All this over a few cents and I mean a few cents).

Anyway, without a job, he went to school to learn CNC programming and found a new job in Orlando moving from WI.

Fast forward maybe 8 years and now my BIL gets called into the office to be told by the Boss he is retiring. The good news was he was GIVING the bidness to his five employees!

Two years later he sold out to his former co- workers with a six figure buy out plus 10 years monthly payment.

They made parts for F16 and F18 aircraft.
