"California fast-food workers launch new union: ‘They have to listen to us"

..... Now that the Fast Food Workers have basically priced themselves out of a job ..... The first order of the Union will be to minimize or even halt the cost saving Automation intended to replace the fast-food workers jobs which will then, in turn, force the employers to further replace the workers with more automated machines.

The first order of the Union will be to minimize or even halt the cost saving Automation intended to replace the fast-food workers jobs which will then, in turn, force the employers to further replace the workers with more automated machines.

This appears to be the way to raise salaries to encourage employers to hire illegal aliens under the table.

Count on it. The railroad union insisted on having firemen long after there was a fire to attend on locomotives. (Note: I am well aware of the reasons for the animosity between railroad workers and their unions towards management. And certainly the value of two brains and sets of eyes in locomotive for safety reasons).
