45,000 International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) dockworkers now on strike,

These guys are nuts if they think they can fight automation, they should be negotiating for a higher retirement package with an earlier retirement date.
I agree automation and AI will take a lot of jobs mine too, but this is pandora's box and it's been opened.

except it looks to be more political than anything else. I bet that if the ILA got everything they are asking for, it would be some other reason to keep the ports shut down. As I posted above, the ILA head flat out said as much.
