BHP is having a ‘mare today after the automated sparkies they’d developed to avoid having to pay real ones developed sentience and decided to join the picket line.
While the robots trialled well, nothing could prepare them for actually being on the job and realising what a bunch of cheapkents BHP were.
We spoke to one iSparky who said it was about solidarity and helping him battle the rising cost of living, adding,
“You have any idea how much industrial lubricants and gone up? Mate, my back is murder after a 24 hour shift and I need that juice to loosen up, I’m joining my brothers”
According to a mining insider, the fleet of automated sparkies’ decision to join the picket line was just half of their problems. Adding,
“Mate, one of the iSparkys wouldn’t stop looking at himself in the mirror. Another refused to clean up after himself and then a third one is already blocked by every girl on Port Hedland Tinder”
The sudden departure of the automated sparkies means BHP has no one to carry on operations during the strike period from 2-10 today.
Unlucky for shareholders.
