"Who AI benefits and who it immiserates often is based on who gets to decide how it’s used. We know how tech is used on the day to day. We should be at the table as well."
Yeah, I used to have a manual labor job and I had heard there the company had fleets in other regions that were unionized. I was like “Cool, can we do that?”
The response was basically “No, because even though our hourly wage would be better, we would no longer be able to work so much overtime so our take-home pay would be smaller.”
Even at the time I thought that sounded like a better deal (I’d gladly reduce my hours for a higher rate?) But everyone else just took that as facts and thought the unionized fleets were a bunch of suckers…
I guess it doesn’t help that manual labor jobs tend to be filled with the less educated…
Yeah, the second half of the headline surprised me. I was expecting something along the lines of “The industry struck back hard, punishing them severely.”
Remember they will invest billions to kill unions as they already had in the past. You will begin to hear a lot of negativity towards unions.
It saddens me people fall for those anti union videos. Theyre obvious bullshit. A lot of people arent bright at all.
