It seems to me that the work of the habitats would be
strictly white collar so both the idea of unions and
company towns seems a bit off the mark.
pattern already in place in the US. Here is the big
ones I can think of.
1) Government
2) Medical
3) Construction
4) Transportation
5) Education/daycare
6) Art, music, dining, recreation
Robotic manufacturing has reached a level of maturity
that will make most of the traditional blue collar
jobs obsolete. Due to the confines of a habitat it
would be extremely dangerous to have any serious
discontentment. A minimum level of capability (ie
prosperity) would have to be set and enforced.
