I would assume that part of the negotiations would be that, in exchange for allowing some level of automation, the union would make the company agree to the creation of a certain number of union jobs that maintain the automation equipment (or something to that effect).
A CBA negotiation means if you're going to give something up, even something reasonable, you're going to push for some sort of a concession in turn.
My union has pushed for increased staffing in my department because our work load and amount of equipment we work on and monitor has quadrupled in the past 5 years. The company doesn't want to do it because it costs money. If they do agree to add the staffing, they'll be expecting a concession on our end. It's just how this shit works.
You got about 10,000 mullahs and the IRGC to go through first. As has already been said, you're not necessarily getting a regime change out of an external enemy fighting the country. It's more likely to galvanize support due to that threat.
I work a rotating (nights/days) 36/48 schedule. The 400-500 hours is about the average overtime I've worked a year not counting my regular scheduled hours. I wouldn't work all the OT if I wasn't getting paid for it. I don't live to work.
