And automation requires investment...

So now we get back to the fact the unions prevent that investment
because they insisted on keeping the same number of jobs even though
there was no work to do.

All it required was sensible negotiations between the workforce and

Something you union haters wouldn't approve of.

There's sensible negotiations, and there's pointless negotiations.

If the unions approached the negotiations with a red line through
reducing the number of staff, then the latter is fairly inevitable.

The main print unions were just plain stupid.
