The death of unions would be a fantastic side effect of more automation in the construction industry.

You guys think union workers build residential homes? Construction workers in California make less now than they did in the 1970's.

Bricklayers aren't union?

Correct, there is so much commercial work the unions can't even staff that piece of the market. At least in the northeast and I'd presume everywhere else

Not residential. Maybe a few here and there. Toll brothers and your local contractor isn't using union labor.

Someday, if technology advances continue, we all may end up with one of these in our houses:

It really depends on what part of the country you're in. Trade unions are alive and kicking in the residential market in Chicago. Of course, the line between residential and commercial is a little more blurry when you're talking about high rises or 3 and 4 flats.

 

Agreed on suburban single home construction though. Most of that is non Union.

Depends on your definition of awesome. Replacing workers with robots comes at a steep cost. In the big picture.

Yup. So we should have open borders and allow more illegal immigrants in so when the bottom drops out, soon, we can have more unskilled and uneducated people standing around with nothing to do. Sounds like a great plan.

We've discussed this at length in other threads recently.

 

I'm still of the opinion that other undiscovered and/or untapped industries will be created and expanded as the move to automation hits it's stride.

The union will always live in the government.

Yeah, well slow your roll there fellas.

You know the videos they're NOT showing you?

 

The two different giant arms that failed completely. I mean, absa-lutely. TOTAL Failure.

But no, we don't heard about / see them.

 

The first one? Built a wall made of straw.

The second? Built a wall made of sticks.

  • BOTH of them blew the fock down.

 

Can you imagine? And apparently, each of these arms are really little pigs when it comes to energy.
