I remember the socialist India where workers unions opposed any kind of computerization/automation. This especially hurt Indian banks as they continued to use costly manual calculations which employed army of clerks.

However one of the despotic Indian PM forcibly took over all private banks and "nationalized" it and later the same party used these banks as a jobs program to employ thousands of party workers and others to win votes.

A lot of these youngsters were bored of this manual work and insisted on computerization and the workers unions could not maintain the opposition. (In Indian government owned businesses people never lose their jobs. Which means even if a machine replaces your work, you will still get paid just to show up at work. While it makes sense to oppose digitization when you are unemployed, it makes sense to support it once you are employed. A bit of catch 22. This is not true for private companies as they can not keep people on payroll they don't need.)
