Owned a Materials Handling Business (Forklifts) for 14 years, very profitable and overall
successful. Actually, one of the former employees ask me when ever we meet,
"When we gonna open back up, R.J.".

each case of using robots to replace jobs is different.
with trucking we kind of already have driverless trucks it's called trains. as far as other more advanced trucking on highways and city roads and docks. alot of our regulations and laws exist for safety purposes, robots may never exist in those types of jobs for that reason alone. it might be possible, but not practical.
as far as farming. to use a big machine to do a job that groups of people would normally do. that's efficiency. more work can be done for less people, not all about money, if we are more efficient we simply can do more. each person operate a big machine alot more is done than a group of people walking through a large field doing miniscule work. of course there is a cost someone has to build those machines and gather the resources to make the machines and it's components. aswell as other people develop and research how to make those machines and new designs for the machines. that's just more work being done, instead of x people walking a field, you got x people involved in the research development building and gathering resources to build the machines aswell as the facilities that are used in the process.Last edited: Aug 30, 2020

You sound like an idealistic college professor using buzz words, who has lived within the bubble of academia for too long and has little grasp on reality.
Where I live the opportunity for a "meaningful " job is extraordinarily limited. Several hundred people are employed at my local Walmart doing their "unmeaningful" jobs to survive. Without that Walmart there would be several hundred additional unemployed people with little to no additional job prospects. I agree some jobs are obviously better than others but to say some jobs aren't worth worry about losing is stupid and shortsighted. Any loss of a job opportunity is not a good thing.born&raisedintheusa, Lonesome, foggy and 1 other person Thank this. -

Something is seriously wrong when net pay at a part-time job at UPS is less than a part time job at McDonald’s!Last edited: Sep 6, 2020

And as to your question-yes new hires WERE REQUIRED to pay union dues. The union representative literally went around the terminal looking for the new hires who didn’t sign the forms on the date of hire,anyone who didn’t had to sign the forms right there and then. Anyone who refused to sign was terminated!
In addition United tried to lie to the State of Indiana stating that I quit when I filed for unemployment after I was terminated. Once I sent a copy of my termination letter to Indianapolis however,the state quickly found in my favor.Last edited: Sep 7, 2020

Factor in state & federal withholding(SS,MA mandatory health insurance witholding-even back then MA was in a high tax bracket). On average take home pay from UPS was $175 to $230 on average. The hours vary per day, sometimes it was as little as three hours a day to as much as five hours a day, and the days varied as well. Sometimes as much as six days a week so as little as three days a week(irregular operations).
