If you behave like a mule, you will be treated as one. 27 years of work is way over the line of "he didnt have any chance to move on or get promoted".

“He originally began working at this job as a single father when he gained custody of me and my older sister 27 years ago," his daughter Seryna wrote in a message on the fundraising page. "Then as our family grew and he remarried, he continued to work there because of the amazing health insurance that was provided through this employer because it was unionized. This got all four of his daughters through high school and college with full healthcare coverage."

“My dad continues to work there, because though he does look young, he is coming up on retirement age and leaving would cost him his retirement," she added.

Absolutely shameful behavior to call someone supporting their children a mule.

That guy is one of those people.
