This is a whole New Testament Discourse thing, since the Greek word "tekton" used to refer to Jesus just generally means "builder" or "construction worker" (it's the same word from which we get "tectonic plates", the Earth's crust being made with pieces joined together)https://twitter.com/baddestmamajama/status/1343468417492209664 …

I'd like to think Joseph would be a union guy, although the concept is somewhat anachronistic, and if he himself is "the town carpenter" he'd probably be petit bourgeois and not working class

If you take the Parable of the Laborers very literally it's legitimately a story about problems with union organizing (veteran workers getting pissed off at the idea new workers should get the same benefits they do, wanting to implement a seniority system)
