Futurology

So the answer is AI instead of paying them?

I'm left-leaning and sympathetic to the cause of unions.

However, there will come a day AI & robots can do all work humans can do, except cheaper. That world needs Universal Basic Income, and societies harnessing that productive power to ensure everyone's basic needs.

Soon seeing this in terms of labor and unions stopping AI & robots will be counter-producitive. The quicker the better the left turn to Basic Income and accept AI & robots doing as much as work as possible, then the better off for all of us.
