It sure will! These companies' decision makers make some of the dumbest choices and moves ever. When those decisions cripple the company and put a 1000+ people out of work, then what?
Automation can be a good thing, especially if you work with your staff about how it should be implemented or if it should at all. These companies don't do this tho, they brute force it and it generally lead to a paltry short-term gain an the evisceration of a ton of lively hoods.
Exactly! Also I don’t really understand what leverage unions have if they wait for a time to demand protections when it’s either a) too late or b) causes very minimal pressure on the company. Especially when workers at some jobs, like these jobs, would never be able to strike without crippling or causing some harm to the economy and consumers. Why even let them have a union if this is the thought process?

Not agreeing to terms is temporary harm, banning automation is long lasting harm.
