As I said on another thread I am in favour of flexible working hours and working from home, no problem. But I believe the unions are arguing for same pay for less work.

I would have though they would serve their members better by commissioning studies into the potential impact of automation and AI on their members.

We will shortly (years) see a seismic shift in working in this country on a bigger and broader scale than the 1980's when we lost heavy industry. I don't have the answer but I can see the problem, mass unemployment. It has already started in the high street and anyone who works in an office should be concerned. If I were the TUC I would be pushing the government for solutions. At the moment everyone is concerned with Brexit well this will happen with or without Brexit. The only MP I have heard discuss this is Chuka Umunna I think it shameful that we are sleep walking into a major loss of jobs.
