Tomas: Once the plant automates its assembly line, it will run with far fewer workers than it employs today, so the number of people it employs will shrink. Priya: Automation will cut the plant's production costs, letting it lower prices and win enough new orders to expand output. To handle that growth it will end up employing more people, not fewer.
Their statements provide the most support for the claim that Tomas and Priya disagree about whether
- The plant will automate its assembly line
- A smaller workforce would in fact be bad for the surrounding community, because the reduction in employment would lower spending at nearby businesses
- Automating the assembly line will reduce the number of people the plant employs
- whether automation will lower the plant's production costs
- Automation will allow the plant to lower its prices
