"...hanks to technology, the balance of power between employers and workers in this country is shifting dramatically in favor of the employers..."

This little snippet tells all there is you need to know about this article. What ignorant crap.

The key is not worrying about or outlawing robots, the key is to change bloated, bureaucratic regulations and excessive taxation that make it difficult or impossible to have competitive industry and free enterprise in this country.

Make it easier for people to make money in industry, and the employment issues will improve.

Instead, you get people sniveling that the employers have the upper hand on employees because they employee can be replaced by a robot.

In my opinion, the onus is on the worker to provide value to the employer, not on the employer to provide a job, pay and benefits. In a well run business, if a worker provides value to their employer, they should (and often are) compensated.

“Instead, you get people sniveling that the employers have the upper hand on employees because they employee can be replaced by a robot.”

The employer never has the upper hand unless he is granted a government sanctioned monopoly.

The day the employer gets lazy or fails to innovate and keep up, that is the day the business is headed for bankruptcy.
