    Definitely no part about protecting jobs, definitely none.

    State Sen. Joe Vitale, D-Middlesex, said he’s against this bill because the industry would “eliminate jobs for no other reason than to save a few bucks” and full-service gas would become more expensive.

    As a coalition of organized labor, immigrant rights, and disability community advocates, we are coming together to oppose these proposed changes to New Jersey’s unique fueling rules because it will eliminate gas station attendant jobs that working families of diverse backgrounds depend on. While few to none of these workers are unionized, the New Jersey State AFL-CIO seeks to protect all jobs throughout New Jersey. Additionally, eliminating these jobs would be painful for vulnerable populations such as people with disabilities, the elderly and people with children, who rely on attendants to help them gas up. This bill would hurt consumers and provide little in return.

    Companies will always try to get the most money out of you sure, but if I hop in a Uber and it says it’s $20.00, it’s going to be $20.00. Is that $20 a rip off, quite possibly, but I know that upfront, unlike a random driver trying to scam me and I don’t know until the end.

      As a Keynesian, I’m in favour of gas pump attendants, while gas stations exist.

      As an environmentalist, I’m in favour of phasing out fossil fuel.

      As a human, I’m opposed to companies that engage in union-busting, labour casualisation, and surge pricing. AFAICT, all the robotaxi companies engage in those practices.

        We shouldn’t have people do the same monotonous jobs all day. I want more people taking care of the elderly, being artists, musicians, etc. I don’t want to defend jobs like gas station attendant, grocery bag boy until the end of time. We need to grow the economy and support meaningful jobs. Automate the boring stuff away.
