    Does that have any impact on you or are you just worried about profits?

      Yes, I work in supply chain. Being a dock worker is a tough grueling job, wouldn’t we want to automate that as much as possible? Besides cost, automated ports are both safer and more efficient. I think the ideal scenario would be to grant some sort of retraining.

        We would if there were just equivalent, just as well paying jobs elsewhere. However until we topple the system that makes us work to make the rich richer just to survive we have no choice.

        Automation will only be used to make the job tougher and more grueling.

        A job that used to take three people now has to be done by one, but at a much faster pace and now there’s a deadly robot that you have to work with.

        You work in supply chain. Let me guess. Desk job?

          Automated ports do not work that way, where employees interact directly with a robot. Instead employees stay at a desk and minimal employees are on the ground. Like I had mentioned, automated ports are safer.
