This is how capitalism works. If these companies don't cut costs, their competitors will, and the result will be the same - layoffs.

And it only takes one person to feed and clean three 5 axis CNC mills. You've just saved $150 per hour in labor costs.

"Jobs" do not belong to the individual, union, or state. "Jobs" belong to the company. "Jobs" are created by the company (not the individual, union, or state) to accomplish work. "Labor" is that functional part of "Jobs" which performs work. "Wages" are the price of "Labor". Companies are obligated to pursue the lowest price possible to accomplish work. That's called capitalism.
Wages and labor are a commodity. If they are not competitive in an area, the consumer (companies) will look elsewhere...ALWAYS! It's a truth. And neither the individual, nor the union, nor the state can do anything to change it.
When will these idiots learn?!
