The twilight of the union structures against the overwhelming advance of artificial intelligence is in the center of the debate. With a provocative approach, it raises whether unions, as we know them, are not an obsolete structure that no longer responds to the demands of the 21st century. What if the AI offered better defense, without squeezes or commissions?
For more than a century, unions were key institutions for work balance. Defending the rights of workers against capital was, without a doubt, a necessary mission. But that battle is no longer freed in factories, assemblies or strikes. Today, the worker’s true trench is in the data, in the algorithms and in access to precise and autonomous information. And there, traditional trade unionism lost the train.
The artificial intelligence is in conditions of advise, inform and accompany a worker more efficiently than an average union delegate. A worker who consults on his category, his salary, his compensation or his extra hours can obtain in seconds a personalized, updated and unbridled response, from an AI trained in collective agreements, legislation, doctrine and labor jurisprudence. No commissions, without mandatory contributions, without squeezes.
Today, in many countries, the union system is in crisis. In Spainfor example, the unionization rate has fallen to 12%, while digital work and freelancers find no space or representation in workers’ centrals. In USAless than 10% of private workers are unionized. And in Argentina? Here, a rigid, bureaucratic and compulsive system is still supported, where Affiliation is almost coercivethe “solidarity contribution” is anything but voluntary and where the unions operate many times as political companies rather than as defenders of the worker.
Does it make sense to continue holding this model? No. Not with this level of technological progress.
He Mandatory union model must end. The future demands 100% voluntary affiliationwithout automatic withholdings, without extortion, without veiled threats. That the worker chooses. And if you do not choose union, that you can choose AI: a Free, public or private programgive you legal labor information 24/7, calculate your final liquidation, advise you in a claim and even put together a telegram model.
This is not science fiction. It is present.
I have been elaborating a Project, PilarResolution Automation Labor Integral Program, already incorporates this vision: digital job advice, consultation automation, and direct empowerment tools to the dependent. Without going through a union bureaucrat. Threadless
Will AI replace unions? Yes, if the unions refuse to evolve.
Change resistance cannot continue based on fear. Need A new trade unionism, with technological, ethical and voluntary base. And we also need to free millions of workers from the obligation to pay for a representation that they do not feel or ask. Whoever wants union, who has it. But who is not, to have ia.
It’s time to say it clear: The future of work does not need compulsive trade unionism. You need freedom, information and autonomy. And that can guarantee technology better than any guild.
