Why should they do anything that benefits other people? They cannot even do things that benefit all the members of the union. Higher wages and no automation will mean less jobs available in the future. Then the longshoremen can wait for the totally automated, Chinese installed port in a new location where they have no statist protections.
They want what they want and don’t give a damn in how they get (and probably lose) it.
The opposition to automation is laughable

It will not get them anywhere in the long run. The Luddites always seem to lose the plot when time goes marching on, They could just as well oppose robots, but they are coming or are here now,

They think the anti automation argument will help them win the court of public opinion but also a miscalculation
reply
That is a huge miscalculation! The populace will get fed up with the games that the unions are playing with the products that we want. They may just come in for their very own “BudLite” moment.
