    Unions protect against automation that reduces labor hours.

      Yeah I think that’s the point. Ship breaking is apparently poorly paid so they need unions.

      I also not sure how much scope there is for automation on tasks like this as each shit will be different there isn’t going to be a huge amount of repeatable action

      Honestly more unions should fight for company stock for employees or similar stake programs. As we hopefully get more automated having workers interests aligned against it seems like a losing fight.
