Replacing workers with robots

samedi 4 avril 2020 à 02:00

Employers are hurrying to replace many of the workers now staying home, with robots — if we let them.

I refuse absolutely to use robot sales registers in stores. Once I went to a supermarket in the evening and found no way to pay except a robot, so I put my purchases down and left. But I do more than that.

I generally shout to the people near the robot sales registers, "If you use these machines you are putting other Americans out of work. Join me and insist on going to the human sales agents. We don't have to let them replace humans with robots!"

How about joining me an doing likewise? It build awareness of the need for social solidarity.
