The Growing Influence of Australian Unions in Contact Centres

Australian unions have taken a leading role in shaping discussions around AI in contact centres. Their concerns reflect broader anxieties about automation and its effects on workers. In a landscape where artificial intelligence continues to transform contact centre operations, union leaders call for action. At the Productivity Summit, the Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU) argues that automation should not undermine worker rights and job security. Their campaign champions legislation to regulate AI, making sure workers have a seat at the table when decisions arise that will shape their professional futures.
