#1 If they get the huge raise that will increase inflation on imported goods substantially. This is a no win situation for the US.

#9 I hope EVERY involved union member loses their job and never finds another. Honestly, the moment their boss threatened to cripple the economy, they became terrorists.

#10 So, we got:

1) single point of failure in a critical system

2) a task ripe for automation. Hell, it's already been done once on a smaller scale with industrial pick & place systems - machines that pick something up from here and put it down over there. Kinda like a longshoreman, eh?

This sounds like a job for the next Elon Musk. Who is up for some disruptive fun?
