Just like the UAW pushed back against globalization and automation............ which is why like 98% of American cars are made outside of the US
The problem is not wages or automation or w/e. The global economy has fundamentally changing and the only way to survive in it is to be able to stay ahead of it or adapt to it. Unionizing in 2015 is basically admitting defeat.... these people would be better served by
new job training and placement to do other things.
People keep saying labor is being destroyed and not replaced but with every huge technological innovation that has shaken up the workplace the jobs that were lost were more than replaced. There were interim periods of transition that were tough but ultimately I think if we collectively get our heads out of our asses we can really seize this opportunity.
