## Resource

Melissa Donnelly, the new head of the Australian Council of Trade Unions, is sounding the alarm: workers must have a seat at the table as AI reshapes their jobs. With rising living costs already straining households, Donnelly’s dual focus zeroes in on protecting livelihoods today while safeguarding the future of work tomorrow. As automation accelerates across industries, the ACTU is stepping up to ensure tech progress doesn’t come at the cost of people — making worker consultation not just a priority, but a necessity.
