Automated ports do not work that way, where employees interact directly with a robot. Instead employees stay at a desk and minimal employees are on the ground. Like I had mentioned, automated ports are safer.

Yes, I work in supply chain. Being a dock worker is a tough grueling job, wouldn't we want to automate that as much as possible? Besides cost, automated ports are both safer and more efficient. I think the ideal scenario would be to grant some sort of retraining.
I'm not sure how I feel about the no automation clause.
I found the idea interesting, just something to think about as these platforms continue to develop.
Reddit search has always been quite poor, at least for me. Not sure how AI is going to improve that haha
A few people have had similar thoughts and deeper conversations including a few comments from their CTO can be found over on hackernews.
Thanks, the inspect field trick worked. I was almost locked out of this account as it has no email attached to it.
This will be very useful, thanks for sharing.
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.
