GM in USA kicks out 1300 car builders because 50 robots can replace menhttps://arstechnica.com/ai/2026/06/gm-installs-robots-at-flagship-ev-factory-after-laying-off-1300-workers/Dozens of new robot arms have been installed at General Motors' flagship electric vehicle factory in Detroit -- even as 1,300 workers remain out of work following what was supposed to be a temporary layoff. The latest automation push has spurred union pushback over a potentially existential issue for automakers and their workers. General Motors installed approximately 50 robot arms at GM's Factory Zero plant in Detroit, Michigan, according to reporting by Crain's Detroit Business. Made by the Japanese robotics company FANUC, the robots are designed to help attach various components to vehicles during the assembly line process. But leaders at United Auto Workers (UAW), the primary US union for autoworkers, reacted with anger to the new robotic presence, given how GM has not yet called back any of the workers affected by supposedly temporary layoffs in March.More than 1,000 union members are still "laid off indefinitely," James Cotton, president of UAW Local 22, told The Detroit News. He said that the company could bring some of those members back to work instead of installing the 50 robots. The temporary layoffs were preceded by permanent layoffs involving another 1,200 workers at GM's Factory Zero in October 2025. Many automakers, including Stellantis NV and Ford Motor Company, have deployed assembly-line robots, such as Fanuc robot arms, as they push to automate more of their US operations. Hyundai Motor Company plans to deploy Atlas humanoid robots made by Boston Dynamics -- which Hyundai acquired in 2020 -- to start working in the automaker's flagship EV facility in Georgia by 2028.
>>537655827brothers and sisters, the age of man is at an end
>>537655827Meanwhile China actually made that illegal lmao
>>537656121China is a real country. USA is a kike paypig grifting zone where hoyim are exploited for their resources while dumb miggers cheer
Oooooh no they fired 1300 pajeets who were imported for the job.
Meanwhile the union screeches loudly demanding $4000 an hour for the remaining 5 retards because they need their union cut and robots don't pay dues
>>537656121How much are you shitskins paid to shill China? Genuinely wondering, I might install a VPN to give it a shot myself since this shithole is really nothing more than advertisement space for BRICS anymore anyway
>>537655827>GM in USA kicks out 1300 niggers who are working conveier jobs at GM>because 50 robots and 50 white engineers can replace 1300 niggers Translated . >More than 1,000 union members are still "laid off indefinitely," Exactly. Where? Detroit? Then it's niggers. What a surprise that you don't need 1300 niggers and 1800 year old conveyers on a 21st century manufacturing.
>>537656290>Oooooh no they fired 1300 pajeets who were imported for the job.This , or niggers. A lot of niggers work on old old conveyors in Detroit and you can't fire them, because unions. That's why cars cost $75k
>>537656350Stfu Jew berg
>>537656121Idiot, they pay $6/ DAY in China. In USA these are lowest quality niggers that you can't fire (because unions), that get paid $150k / year to work conveyor jobs. That's why american cars cost $75k and can't compete with china. Time for us to fire all $150K paid for nothing niggers, and install normal conveyors.
>>537655827>Why won't someone pay me 85K a year to do some repetitive task that a trained monkey or a robot arm can do better and faster?That sucks. I guess you can still get a job slathering yourself in jelly to act as walking fly-paper.
>>537656535Surely the prices will come down now
>>537655827>union members are sufferingThat is a net positive by any metric.
>>537655827Name?
>>537655827Get a job fixing robots. Any white man can learn basic electrical and mechanical principles
>>537655827Good. Imagine having a luddite business model and thinking you're gonna survive. Unions are just boomer delusions that unironically have lost all their leverage thanks to the boomer love of importing endless migrants.
>>537655827No love no job, simple as.
