Why does Shawn Fain look so much like Joel Hodgson?
I keep half expecting Crow and Tom Servo to show up.

fight automation

I mean if you're not positive that workers will reap the benefits of it it makes sense to resist. The poster is more specific: it says to fight the fallout of automation, less pay and more work for a smaller group of people. The Luddites are a joke to a lot of people these days but they correctly identified that automation was making their jobs worse and making everyone who did them more miserable.
Given how automation has impacted other communities in this country (take a trip through coal country some time) I think it's wise to be skeptical. I'd love to live in a world where we don't have to work because it's all automated and I can go paint landscapes or whatever, but I don't think that's likely to happen.
