I think the solution for ship breakers is for the job to be a highly paid respectable job with protections. In other words the technology that desperately needs to disrupt this industry is probably... unions

Unions protect against automation that reduces labor hours.

Honestly more unions should fight for company stock for employees or similar stake programs. As we hopefully get more automated having workers interests aligned against it seems like a losing fight.

Yeah I think that's the point. Ship breaking is apparently poorly paid so they need unions.

I also not sure how much scope there is for automation on tasks like this as each shit will be different there isn't going to be a huge amount of repeatable action
