We are dealing with this same issue all over the United States with out of country companies trying to enforce automation in the USA. This will destroy all longshoreman jobs and have a major impact on the the blue collar working man. I have been a longshoreman for 20 years and have been through it all. On the east coast we are trying to negotiate our new contract and are trying our best to keep automation out of any union operated ports. This will be a tough battle. I just wish that this country and its politics would see what automation would do to this country. Absolutely ruin it. Also I don’t care what anyone says or what other ports numbers are with automation in there terminals. A experienced operator operating the crane/truck/rtg/top loader etc…. Will always do better numbers then a computer.
