| Tanko Member since: Aug 15, 2019 Threads: 0 Posts: 2470 | This kind of abuse is why people join unions. Big chain pharmacists in NYC are filling 250 scrips per day and giving more than 100 vaccines per day. 250 per day during the pandemic. It got so bad for them here, the City got involved and forced the chains to give them two half-hour breaks during their 12 hr. work day. On top off that, their real wages have not kept up with inflation. A few CVS pharmacists in Missouri walked out today in protest over their work conditions.

Some employers do really well in hard times with loyal employees. They may not be able to do much for their employees at that time, but if they have been straight and transparent with what goes on, it should pay off and people won't be as easily tempted to unionize.

When Milton Hershey saw a new machine on his chocolate factory floor, he asked his manager what it was? The manager told him, "that machine replaces sixteen workers". Hershey replied "Get rid of the machine and hire sixteen workers". |

It works until a company you're competing against cuts cost and uses the machine. If you have the market cornered you can pretty much do anything. Appeal to the public, like "Buy America" probably works to an extent to support higher prices. It's kind of a gamble. Walmart hasn't collapsed as yet, due to various not- so ethical practices. But they do actively run PR campaigns to get public support to offset it, like neighborhood support programs. I used to see those on the wall in one of the Vegas Walmarts.

| DRich Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 57 Posts: 5896 | What people seem to forget is that people still have to make the machines so there will still be manufacturing. Maybe not as many people will be making cars as the robots take over, but people will still be manufacturing the robots. What will eventually happen is that most if not all "labor" will be replaced by technology which will force more people to get educated which is a good thing. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent. |

The problem is that robots will be making the robots. Humans will soon be obsolete. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you." Benjamin Franklin |

Heard the same in the 70s. Hasn't happened yet. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |
