I’m not finding any merit in the pro strike arguments here. Blocking automation and reducing efficiency for critical infrastructure does benefit a very small group of people while the cost is spread over many people. The strikers are backed by federal labor law, so follow the $ to see why entrenched systems are not going to change anytime soon. Some industries are portable like manufacturing plants can and do move to greener pastures, non portable infrastructure like the railways, ports and public education are fixed geographically.
You have to wonder if better more efficient and safer automation at the ports might expand to new jobs in designing, building, and maintaining the newer systems might be a net positive. Nope, can’t have that.
