AI vs Workers

A look at union labor and the advent of AI, the good and bad of it on working people. The bad is more people moving to hands on labor from white color, higher educated people who have lost their jobs to AI. So, hands on high school workers will be competing with people with bachelors and masters degree for jobs that will end up being a union problem. But the good news is that labor unions will have highly educated workers who will turn to labor activism and will view the economic inequality and activism is the best way to fight it. But unions must remember that the holy grail of corporations is that AI will replace all workers and this is why unions should be watching for it will happen with a thousand small cuts so unions must make the large corporations pay for the jobs that are taken by AI. The money could go into a unemployment or UBI to keep the U.S. people off the streets. If we don’t have a safety nether the consequences of AI. We will see the people in the streets with pitchforks and no one in the government or corporations will be able to hide or remain safe. Now is the time to checkmate this AI movement. All we union members need to do is educate our workers about what we are building. Yes, we will take the work but that doesn’t mean we don’t know about the long range damage to the building we are working on will do so look at it like building a dam. It is a good thing until the dam breaks and it will. AI will be the dam that breaks. So, all workers need a plan and now is the time before it’s too late. Corpations and oligarchs have absolutely no concern for workers just trying to make ends meet. Big Tech companies are expected to spend $650 billion on AI infrastructure in 2026. Fifty-two percent of workers are concerned about the use of AI in the workplace. Seventy-six percent of Americans say its important to be able to discern whether content was generated by AI or by people due to the manipulation that people can do with AI.
