Rapid robot rollout risks UK workers being left behind, reports say

Study shows 20m jobs will be lost worldwide by 2030 with every robot costing 1.6 manufacturing jobs

British workers are being shut out of decisions over the rising use of robots in the UK economy, according to a report.

According to the commission on workers and technology, run by the Fabian Society and the Community trade union, almost six in 10 employees across Britain in a poll said their employers did not give them a say on the use of new technologies.
