Australia dock workers call for 28-hour week in AI talks
bbc.
Australian port workers want less time. They ask for twenty-eight hours. They keep full pay. Machines do more work now. Computers help move cargo. The union leads this fight. They want help, not job loss. Companies should share profits. This helps all workers.
The fight is with DP World. They run many ports. The union says jobs are in danger. Technology brings big changes. AI tools manage schedules. Workers feel left out. They need a voice. Their concerns are valid.
Up to one thousand jobs may go. This is over sixty percent. AI cranes might replace men. Driverless trucks could take over. Changes are happening fast. Workers now do thirty-five hours. They want twenty-eight hours back. Free time is important.
