Union doesn’t want automation while the port does. Automation makes other ports much more efficient than ours.

Well, they are welcome to fire everyone and automate it all/hire new staff for the remaining position. But I think that’s not so easy, otherwise they would have already done it.

Ports around the world have done it. Just not Vancouver.

What’s stopping Vancouver Port management from doing it then? Why haven’t they already? It’s on them, not the workers they choose to employ.
