Someone should go install the robots while they are sitting on their greedy asses.

I don’t know what’s true. I’ve seen rumors that the union was offered a 50% bump and a promise of zero automation, but the union turned it down. I saw the union is made of a bunch of people who make a shite load of money and are just using this as an attempt to make even more. I don’t know who’s telling the truth.

For the vast majority of people, AI is not going to take your job. However, someone who knows how to use AI will take your job. People need to focus on upskilling themselves instead of fear mongering about something that they aren’t as helpless against as they think.

Yes, you do. Unions suck. No automation? LOLZ, self driving trucks, they no care. Do they give a shite what happens when container prices crash 75% in a year or three? No, they'll get paid.

The government is letting 12 million illegals over the boarder that would work for half the price

But everyone is fine with it when companies squeeze the workers for every penny they can.

Not sure what they would be crying about as far as pay. 2010 I was in the AF and had to pick up some equipment in San Diego that was coming in from Australia and the Longshoremens union stevedores we’re making 75 dollars an hour back then.

[quote]Unions kinda f up free markets. I hope they figure out a way to open the ports without them and get rid of the union[/quote
Trump would do striking dock workers just like Regan did the Air Traffic Controllers. “Your Fired !”

I would be more for this in this context if we knew the automation deployed was designed and built in America.
What's to stop the ports from essentially ceding their ops to the CCP?

Depends on who they plan to vote for in the election

I’m always against unions.

They are the mafia. The Italians have run the ports since the early 1900’s

F this union making me pay more for goods than necessary just because they don’t want technological advancements.
You think the price of good would go down if dock workers get paid less?

They’re the worst kind of union thugs. Mobbed up and lazy. Their job can be 80% automated. China loads and unloads ships using robots and autonomous vehicles. So can we.

Against. Automate the docks.
Posted on 10/1/24 at 9:41 pm to thadcastle
It’s hilarious to me that they are protesting against automation without realizing if things were automated there would be no strike.
