    And the port will be swept clean of every box at the end of day.

    China opened the first big automated port and it's called a "Ghost Port" because you don't see any human activity. Only has 9 employees.
    The “ghost port” of Qingdao is starting operations Last May marked the first time that a shipment was unloaded entirely by automated means in Qingdao. It meant that the Qingdao New Qianwan Automatic Container Terminal became the first Asian container terminal to operate by fully automated means.

    Unions for ya. Priced themselves out of a job.

    I've been union for the last couple years. While its nice to have bargaining power, it sucks because now your job hinges on seniority, not skill or work ethic.

    This is one battle the union won't win.
    It's not if,but when they get the robots.

    This is one of those deals where if you can
    Afford it at your port.
    You do it immediately,and get a 10 year jump
    On your competition , while they piddle around
    Thinking about it.

    Time is money.
    Look how much faster you can get the customers
    Product form the port to thier docks with those robots.

    I see a bunch of longshoremen at mega truck
    Driving school in the near future.
