When people say they hate unions this is why. This port is not automated, and it's entirely because the unions want their money: https://www.presstelegram.com/2021/05/20/automation-war-expe...

"But the International Longshore and Warehouse Union was quick to issue a response following the meeting, saying the proposal threatens U.S. jobs and local economies." i.e. we want to make things worse, so we get more money.

When you read stuff like this, is it any wonder that Amazon and WalMart are so opposed to unions?

Are there any unions that advocate for good working conditions, without also opposing efficiency gains in the name of jobs?
