"Figuring out how to eliminate jobs instead of just paying for kids to go to college."

Whoa-whoa-whoa, hang on there. "We" should pay for someone to attend college because a robot can perform a manual task?
Is that a call to ban technological progression? If that's the case, then we should be still using ANSI terminals, 300 BAUD modems, and green bar printing paper. Or worse, presenting our card decks to the High Priests of the computer room!

BTW, a robot replaced Luke Skywalker's hand and nobody in the audience shouted out for free college. ;)

No, IT staff do not need to go union. This will be a temporary boost in the need for electricians and at some point it will return to "normal", like all markets eventually do. Besides, who's going to pay top rate for Visual Basic dev? Nothing against VB, it's just the red headed stepchild of IT. :)

No more federal regulation is required. This corporation could've just as easily decided to outsource the work to India, Eastern Europe, or South America. Stop thinking Uncle Sam is looking out for you; he's not. Sorry. Personally, I think this isn't a wise move by the corporation. A big corporation could easily afford to fly in employees every six weeks for a few days. In addition, over time employees leave, then just hire new people near the hubs AND DON"T PUNISH THE REMOTE EMPLOYEES!!!
