‘Your Turn’: United Auto Workers Launches Campaign to Unionize Tesla::After the UAW won contracts with the Big Three, it’s seeking to unionize 150,000 workers across a dozen companies including Tesla.
For every job you replace with a robot, you generally have to hire 3 robot technicians, 1 per shift.

These bots are developed and adopted because they reduce the need for human labor. If it worked the way you describe, no factory would automate because needing more labor defeats the point.
