automotive workers unions started around 1918 and became major political players in the 30s -- a fact that i'm sure is wholly unrelated to why there are so many un-automated tasks in that industry.

It’s not really a secret that most new auto factories serving the US tend to open in places where those unions are not active, like the South or Mexico

Amazon warehouses still have a huge number of ununionized workers doing manual labor

Pretty different tasks, environments, outcomes, metrics, goals, and other things in a warehouse vs. a factory… really have no clue how this is supposed to be relevant. Why not mention farms or libraries?

Well, Farms have the UFW...

Libraries are typically either governed by a municipality's rules around employment and treatment of employees, or part of a school/etc where there are again additional guidelines about these things to be sensible and not leading people into unsafe behavior.

		Yeah, my point is that they're all unrelated choices.
