Original Toronto Star caption: These workers won't strikes: The 128 robots working the assembly line at Chrysler's mini-van plant in Windsor don't mind the dull, dirty and dangerous jobs. When they weld, they don't worry about the heat when they paint they don't worry about getting it in their hair. But humans worry about being replaced by these tireless comptitors.
