Either you're not answering the question, or I am entirely misunderstanding this entire thread. You said:

I hate to say this but they’re tradesmen and not necessarily critical thinkers.

To me, this comes off as extremely condescending — it reads like you are saying that people who are tradesmen are incapable of complex thought (ie critical thinking). I'm simply asking for you to explicitly clarify that statement. If my reading is incorrect, then how would you word it to make it more clear? How you reword it might clarify your intent and explain your following replies.

They’re skilled workers who specialize in some very difficult jobs and had the good sense to unionize to prevent getting fucked too hard by owners and the management class.

Is this statement clarifying the people that you think "aren't critical thinkers"?
