Story summary
- The Maritime Union of Australia demands a 28-hour paid week from DP World.
- Union says the plan could affect up to 1,000 jobs—over 60% of dock staff—because DP World, with 1,800 employees, will start driverless and AI-crane automation at its Brisbane terminal in February 2027.
- MUA Secretary Jake Field says AI cannot be used without an agreement or pay loss, calls for bargaining rights, and notes DP World declined comment.
