"See, it's not safecrackers, embezzlers, murderers, spouses on the run, none of the dime-novel stuff, put all that out of your head. Here in Chi, this year of our Lord, it's all about the labor unions, or as we like to call them, anarchistic scum," said Nate Privett.

Here's Nate expressly showing his true colors rather than exposing them through off-hand comments and stacks of pancakes. But a close reader knew this was coming!
What Nate is saying is that regular detective work doesn't pay much. What really pays is infiltrating labor unions for the corporate money-pants elite and causing trouble so that the public sees labor unions as anarchist troublemakers instead of workers fighting for a fair and equitable work environment. Some guy trying to catch his wife cheating is hardly going to be able to pay for all the long hours of surveillance. But some corporate fat cat has plenty of money to throw at you for the simple act of othering labor unions so that the general masses see them as a threat to life and property.
Nothing's fucking changed!
