Union Chief Calls for Enhanced AI Advocacy at May Day Demonstration

Trade unions must evolve and robustly champion workers' rights amidst the swift rise of artificial intelligence (AI), asserted Trade Union Federation (TUF) President Julian Monrose at the May Day Rally. Addressing the theme, "Revolutionising Health & Safety: The Role of AI and Digitisation at Work," he recognized AI's potential job displacement but emphasized the inevitability of progress. Monrose urged unions to adopt digital innovations while advocating for updated laws and bargaining agreements that reflect AI's effects. He celebrated workers’ contributions and the need for ongoing solidarity.
