Australia's Dock Workers Face an Uncertain Future as AI Takes Hold The push for artificial intelligence (AI) in Australian ports has ignited a heated debate over job security and workers' rights.
The Maritime Union of Australia (MUA) is calling for a 28 hour work week with no loss of pay, citing concerns that the increasing use of AI and automation will put up to a thousand dock workers' jobs at risk.
The MUA's criticism is aimed squarely at DP World, the port logistics giant behind the push for AI.
