Important to note that there is little differentiation of labor productivity in mechanized labor environments. I can't operate a machine faster than the guy next to me. We can only both competently operate the machine. Enabling safe operation of machinery is critical to workers and may have downward pressure without pushback from employees. An organization of employees is necessary to pushback against the scale of a corporation. Employees form a union protecting standards of pay and safe labor practices for all operators of machines.

For the above, imaging those machine operators are airline pilots.
