After securing large pay raises and improved benefits from the biggest U.S. automakers, the United Auto Workers union is moving to unionize Tesla, Honda, Toyota and others.
I work in automation. Nearly ALL of our customers want full automated systems. Only problem is that it’s a lot of $$$. A lot of time we end up doing semi-automated solutions that keeps maybe half of the workforce.
I’m not familiar with automation systems in the manufacturing space, but I do run small fintech firm where we work on automated trading. Full automation is a pipedream (for now, at least). We find that supervised systems where the machine does much of the heavy lifting, with a human hand on the wheel, are the ones that work best. This can still save companies a ton on labor costs.
Didn’t Toyota and Honda just announce pay raises?
Yep, they sure did https://www.cnn.com/2023/11/14/cars/uaw-labor-toyota-honda-hyundai/index.html
Giving companies even more reasons to invest more into automation tech.

Sounds like the other half of your customer’s workforce should apply to the growing automation industry. Equilibrium maintained!
There going to need alot more electro mechanical technicians to keep everything running smoothly then.
