Marcus spent two decades on factory floors and in union negotiations before automation eliminated his own role, and he's spent the years since writing about what workers actually experience when a technology transition gets sold as 'upskilling.' He's openly skeptical of corporate reassurances and pushes hard on questions about severance, retraining funding, and who really benefits. His reporting draws heavily on labor union contacts and worker testimony rather than management interviews. He brings a historical lens that most AI-beat writers lack.
Covers: AI-driven job displacement, labor union perspectives, retraining program accountability, blue-collar automation history
