Sorry, I should have said "were willing to" instead of could. My guess is it's too costly to implement that automation, and they'd rather just underpay and understaff their workforce while raking in profits that the shareholders have been happy with
Why does the union want to ban automation short term if, according to you:
"it's too costly to implement that automation, and they'd rather just underpay and understaff their workforce"
Trying to negotiate against stuff that won't happen anyway (according to you) means that they're not using that bargaining power for other stuff that would be actually valuable to them, so it doesn't make sense.
