Good luck with that ["We will not accept . . . automation."].

The theme of the parent article is correct. Automation does not hurt wages. It does, however, reduce the number of jobs in the union.

However, in the longer term the *only* way to keep jobs in the union is for the union to be so productive that alternative approaches cannot compete. And refusing to accept automation will kill productivity.

So, it will take something like luck to sustain union jobs while refusing automation - because the economics will not.
