An investment on automation can achieve major productivity gain. Although technology and capital may be secured there are numerous cases in which firms cannot implement such automation because of objections from labor. This is an important issue facing firms, unions, industries and policy makers. Since automation may accompany layoffs, objections from unions are understandable. This problem has been particularly evident in transport/logistics sectors in which a high % of labor is unionized from the time the industry was heavily regulated. Solution to this problem needs cooperation from labor.

对自动化的投资可以实现重大的生产力增益。 虽然技术和资金可能得到保障，但由于劳工的反对，企业无法实施这种自动化的情况很多。这是企业、工会、行业和决策者面临的一个重要问题。 由于自动化可能伴随着裁员，工会的反对是可以理解的。 这一问题在运输/物流部门尤为明显，因为从该行业受到严格管制以来，就有很高比例的劳动力加入了工会。 这个问题的解决需要劳动者的合作。
