If I was trying to do PR for shipping companies I probably couldn’t do a better job than MorePerfectUnion is, someone at ILA is gonna have to tackle their social media manager at this rate

A tweet from More Perfect Union. It reads “the thousands of striking dockworkers are fighting something very simple: machines taking our jobs”. Linked is a TikTok where a dockworker in Los Angeles complains that the port is automated and thus there are less jobs for dockworkers and clerks.

Same battle being fought by rail transportation employees. Single-person remote control jobs do switching in yards, but sometimes with an OOOPSIE! bc they can't see the bottom of the train slamming into cars/buildings/off the end of track. Companies want road trains to have 1 man total, not 2.

talk about popular wage demands? No, I’m gonna talk about how we oppose the level of automation that already exists in other major US ports
