Drawing office unions regularly went on strike over the introduction of "new technology" (basic CAD). The company is training you with transferable skills and you've gone on strike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had personal experience of representing DO staff during this process, and it wasn’t quite as simple as you seem to suggest, it being one of the “social work” episodes of being a rep.
Some of the guys just simply couldn’t make the transfer, not for want of trying or will, but they just couldn’t do it. There were guys who did jobs that disappeared, weren’t needed with CAD, who frankly weren’t up to more, and some of the older guys found the technology beyond alien.
Everyone got sorted in the end, no ‘industrial action’, some redeployment, some early retirements on decent terms, but it was a massively stressful time for about 30% of the guys, a wonderful world of opportunity for about 30%, and ‘sort of OK’ for the rest, and the ones who were challenged needed support, someone to speak on their behalf and secure acceptable outcomes.
Oh, and the initial CAD kit and software was glitchy, temperamental, anti-intuitive, not much better than beta-test, so managers got as frustrated as operatives, which didn’t help!
