"YES IF YOU ARE IN A CRITICAL INDUSTRY YOU HAVE LESS OF A RIGHT TO STRIKE"
Entire thread on r/news is just the same sentiment of libs worried about their treats while the rest of America is already stuck in poverty and the world suffers already from American economic dominance.
edit for clarity.
The workers more than anybody should dictate what tech comes in. They have the bazinga filter these children on Reddit and the freaks in the board room are missing
My kneejerk reaction to the "no automation" was negative, but after reading the actual explanation why, I totally agreed.
Automation is better in theory, but in typical capitalist fashion it's mostly done in a hamfisted way to push out labor and ends up costing more in the long run through high initial and long term costs.
In order for tech to work right in blue collar work, it really needs to be designed and implemented almost entirely by the workers themselves.
It usually doesn't even 'push out' labor, it simply makes it have the appearance of being deskilled, so the worker has to learn to not only do the job they were doing before, but recognize when automation is fucking up and usually get paid less.
And not just blue collar. Society has been widely fucked by malinvestment in technology. This isn’t ludditism but the reality that technology isn’t neutral or a net benefit in itself.,
