Replacing your workers with AI:

--You lose control over their "salary"

--You lose control over their "schedule"

--Your company becomes reliant on another party that does not share your interests or values, and can stop working for you on a whim for any reason

But AI is definitely good and trade unions are definitely bad, apparently...
