We don't lick them

How do we bridge the gap between blue-collar and white-collar workers, building a diverse coalition within the labor movement? #Unions can unite different occupations, overcoming tensions to represent the #WorkingClass. #HoosLeft #Labor #BlueCollar #WhiteCollar #Solidarity

Len Pash lost his job as a factory worker in rural USA. To pass some time, he joins a new democracy movement. At first, he is a reluctant volunteer. But he becomes an ardent supporter:

“The story of automation in the US is that it has mostly impacted on manual workers in manufacturing. For example, factory employees — such as carmakers — performing routine tasks have lost their jobs to robots — or lower-cost Asian competitors.

#IndustrialAutomation has tended to affect lower-skilled, #BlueCollar jobs in the “#rustbelt” heartlands and small-town, less-educated communities in the south and midwest.

But a recent study from the #BrookingsInstitution suggests that the communities most exposed to AI-driven job dislocation will be #WhiteCollar information workers. The researchers studied the usage of #OpenAI’s #GenerativeAI tools across more than 1,000 occupations and mapped this against where those jobs were most commonly located.

Their analysis suggests that many #coders, #lawyers, #FinancialAnalysts and #bureaucrats in cities such as San Jose, San Francisco, Durham, New York and Washington DC might want to rethink their futures. But #NonOffice-bound #workers in places such as Las Vegas, Toledo, Ohio and Fort Wayne, Indiana may be less exposed to AI disruption.”

My observation since 2022 when #ChristopherHohn an influential shareholder decided to *speak out* about “reducing its head count and paying (hi-tech) workers less”. [1]

This is the decade where extreme (cost) pressure will be forced on White collar workers by the introduction of AI.

“Mercedes-Benz has announced tests of advanced #HumanLike #robots – powered by artificial intelligence – as it ‘digitises’ the way it builds cars.

Robots powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) from #Apptronik – a Texas, United States-based automation and robotics company having developed robots for NASA (North American Space Agency) – have been installed for #testing at the car maker’s innovation hub in Berlin-Marienfeld, #Germany.”
