Can't imagine the thought process of folks who physically COULD not do a job. Sweating in an air-conditioned room, saying the people doing that job deserve less and need to be quieter. #longshoremenstrike

Leverage exists in the hands of he who wields the force mechanism... things like this are simple, thats why strikes either work or dont work Technology and automation will either rise in this VERY moment and say we can fill these needs today, tell them never come back... we got this OR Those that wish for better, faster, cheaper will have to concede to the current demands of the soon-to-be outsourced and perhaps not cheer for the comet that is gonna hit their planet There is a large segment of labor/agriculture that tech REALLY needs to stop saying the quite parts loud to... what they hear is "a good portion of society does NOT respect you, your labor, or your viewpoint" what they KNOW is that currently you need them... desperately i say play the card while you have it

While I empathize with the sentiment, the demands result in a worse outcome for everyone. We can see the benefits of automation and tech in ports in China/Singapore. Ignoring the benefits of technology results in worse efficiency, worse safety, and higher cost of goods. This means worse service quality. It’s a step backwards for society. I’m sure there will be a compromise reached where everyone isn’t replaced by robots. But the demands are unreasonable. I stand against the “fuck everyone except for me” mentality of the demands

Again... i understand what you mean (i think) how that reads is a robot is knocking at the front door of a building your dad and grandad worked at and its saying "we are not gonna kill all of you" someone asks.. "do you mean right away or EVER" the robot repeats "beep boop.. im not gonna kill all of you" and a bunch of people who think you are too uneducated to decide your own future scream "LET HIM IN SO I CAN GET MY SHIT FASTER" Longshoreman is a thing... its big where im from So i see the humanity in them Its hard... and thankless and there are guys i know who are like 4th and 5th generation it was a GREAT job, and it was hard... it was supposed to be people FOUGHT for fastfood workers.. that was like 4min ago

If we take the 41k and 81k and ignore the fact that MOST are closer to the low end... ill go off the average $61,000 per year back out $12,200 for taxes and you are about 4k per month before insurance or the myriad of stuff that will come out of your check essential workers who we told were "too important to the country" to stay home during covid are not typically compensated like they are essential 10% per year for 7yrs doesn't (to me) seem like they are being greedy
