随着人工智能和自动化技术在澳大利亚港口物流领域的扩展，当地码头工人工会向全球最大港口运营商之一 DP World 提出倡议，要求实施每周 28 小时的工作制且薪资保持不变 [1]。该诉求针对的是正在测试利用 AI 工具管理员工和工作日程的 DP World[1]。此外，该公司还计划使用 AI 辅助远程起重机和无人驾驶车辆等自动化项目 [1]。工会方面指出，这些自动化项目的实施威胁着多达 1000 个工作岗位或超过 60% 的码头和维护人员的工作安全 [1]。
As artificial intelligence and automation expand within the Australian port logistics sector, a union representing Australian dockworkers is calling for the implementation of a 28-hour workweek with no reduction in pay [1]. This initiative specifically targets DP World, one of the world's largest port operators, which is currently testing tools powered by AI to manage employee schedules and workflows [1]. The company also proposes utilizing AI-assisted remote cranes and autonomous vehicles as part of its operational strategy [1].
The union warns that these automation projects threaten up to 1,000 jobs or more than 60% of docker and maintenance roles [1].
