I don't see where this is coming from? The only thing I find from the union is that there is an existing agreement since 2018 that any automation the companies want to be implemented, needs to be discussed with the union beforehand.
So there doesn't seem to be any "ban on automation" as far as I can tell, so wondering where you are getting this from?

- diggan 2y ago> The union wants a complete ban on automation I only find media reports about "complete ban on automation". The only thing I can find from the union itself is "keep limits on automation in place", which was already in the existing agreement. "Limits" is very different from "ban".

They continue to sneak in automated programs and eliminate our clerical functions behind our backs. They better get ready for the biggest fight they’ve ever seen. We are done with them unilaterally implementing work processes and having zero respect for our members and their work functions. https://ilaunion.org/letter-of-opposition-to-usmxs-misleading-statement/ https://ilaunion.org/letter-of-opposition-to-usmxs-misleadin...
