    Again I am talking about automated ports not Amazon sorting facilities, please look into how automated ports work, in fully automated ports there are less workers working directly with machinery than in a standard port. You’ll need to provide sources that automated ports are not safer or more efficient. The transportation and movement occupation has the highest number of fatal injuries in my state, not only can it be fatal but it also takes a toll physically as well, we should be helping these workers and automation can help do that.

      I gave you an example of automation not making workers safer in Amazon sorting facilities to demonstrate the worry that port workers have - they don’t want to be treated like Amazon employees! That’s it. I’m not saying that all automation is bad, only that it can be and you shouldn’t assume it’s automatically good.
