If I spent the time to dump the human boss off my back, I would not turn around and give that power to a computer. Worker controlled labor puts the power in workers' hands.

Computers can help with communication of needs, but power should stay with workers.

But the power is not with the workers, it's with a representative body. And in a perfect union, the body would be able to consider and weigh workers needs with production costs. So why not let a computer do it?
