Have you seen some of the videos online of baggage handlers throwing suitcases around with no regard whatsoever for the condition of the contents. I say the robots are welcome to take the jobs of people like that.

2018-04-09 14:56:23Germany really is getting as bad as France for strikes. I read in a newspaper last year that there were more strikes here than in France. The misery these people are causing is wrong and amounts to blackmailing everyone for a tiny amount of pay increase.
