How Come My Layed Off Chrysler Union Friend Is So Rich Now?

The union friend is buying up material stuff like crazy- going on vacations etc.
And my other friends who are a Asian married couple who both had worked for Small Businesses are both without jobs and super poor now?
Is this Share the Wealth thing - only for Unions?
I went to a party at the Union friends house where it was mostly all Auto Union layed off people- None of them wanted to go back to work! Why not? Are they getting money to do NOTHING?
One of the Auto Union people I know- got a 400,000 dollar check to retire early.
