[QUOTE="qdg2, post: 5405715, member: 100309"] Well.... Define automation.... Trucks cannot be loaded without humans......the pkgs might get through the hub to a point....then human intervention is needed. Given the size and diversity in the shape of most pkgs.....simply can't be automated. Laughable were the perfectly same sized square boxes(all the same) in previous UPS commercials......just like the drone crap......unrealistic for the foreseeable future. Maybe for hundreds of years if ever......I'm talking about A.I. capable of independent autonomous thought. Unless I'm unaware of some fantastic new process.......humans are needed to fly planes, drive pkg and feeder on and on. Will be for YEARS to come. Maybe for certain hub employees, auto. is a concern. For the vast majority....no worries. Stealth(not really it's in broad daylight) contracting is our biggest threat. Of which the Union is absolutely responsible for......spare me about grievances..... The biggest threat to hourlies at my hub? Part-time sups. Way more of those than employees. Absolutely. Often working and doing the same work as hourlies side by side. [/QUOTE]
