So I quit the job but basically, we created automated systems and facilities the likes of which you can see anywhere online.
The part I don't think people are catching on about is that new facilities are quietly created every day with much more automation than the existing facility. When fully automated, they call it a “lights out” facility because they turn the lights off due to there being no workers.
These new facilities open up, take over the work of the old facility (and then some) and the old places close. Everyone is fired from the old facility, unionized or not.
THIS is what terrifies me. I still believe Unions have a place in the workforce but as nobody works at the “lights out” facilities to tell the tale, they're increasing in numbers and will inevitably replace all our jobs.
What do we do about this?
Politicians are all in a club together and WE'RE NOT IN IT. They're not our friends or allies. They're not going to pass laws and such to meaningfully improve our lives.
Edit:
Apparently not everyone has seen a facility WITHOUT workers. Here's an example:
