Unless it's some super complex job that's going to be largely impossible.

Robots don't need PTO. They don't need to take leave. They don't run up your medical insurance costs. They don't complain about sexual harassment and sue the company. They don't click on phishing emails and cryptolock your entire network. They don't make racist posts on twitter. They don't stage an insurrection at the capitol while wearing your company's badge. They don't need to be trained or given an office. Etc.

The accidents and the insurance cost would more than make robots worth the money. Factories around here a very slow to update though. They are basically the same as they were when they were built in the 1950s.

Would you risk your life in a coke plant to make $9 An hour?

Or inhale dust for 10 hours a day and get lung disease at 45 for $9 an hour?

It's really kind of ridiculous that they complain about not finding workers. They blame the workers for wanting better pay and conditions.
