[AP story has 8 bylines] Mike Toberer decided to bring a dozen of his mules to deliver food, water and diapers to hard-to-reach mountainous areas. “We’ll take our chainsaws, and we’ll push those mules through,” he said, noting that each one can carry about 200 pounds (90 kilograms) of supplies.

I read some years back that the ILA backed automation as long as the new jobs automation brought on went to the union, presumably higher-skilled at higher pay. Rather than defending ones made obsolete.
