They went on strike in 1971 over automation.
The outcome was that the ports were forced to accelerate containerisation and automation in order to cover the labour shortage, and many jobs were then lost.
Honestly, if they think the outcome will be different this time, I’d love to understand their rationale.
- loudestdog 2y agoUnfortunately there is no time for this theory to be correct. Everyday the Ports are backed up because of strikes, it takes a week afterwards to clear it. So if you can fully automize the ports in 2 weeks your theory might be true. If it takes longer than 2 weeks to fully automize, Your looking at backup of the cargo until next year. I don't know the time it will take to install such automated systems but I assume it will take much longer than 2-3 weeks, probably years.
