Automation will not decrease the value that BART brings to the bay area and it will not eliminate all positions, it will simply concentrate that value in fewer

  "Automation will not decrease the value that BART brings to the bay area..." But it may increase the value by being more efficient/effective. "and it will not eliminate all positions," Nothing wrong with that. I would imagine that we'd at least try to do the best we can. "it will simply concentrate that value in fewer individuals who could also demand high pay." I don't see why that is a problem that is any worse than the status quo. People in the BART are not paid according to the value BART brings, they are paid what the market will bear, with one side of that market bargaining collectively as a union. The same value divided by half as many employees should have no bearing on the salaries plus benefits paid out to employees.
