DESCRIPTION:Longshore Work, Automation, Technology and the Future of Our Work and Lives 
 - Conference\nThe drive to automate the docks and the maritime industry is 
 moving forward rapidly and, in some European ports, the transfer of cargo 
 has been automated forcing thousands of longshore workers out of the 
 industry.\n The capitalists are also already working on designing automated 
 ships with almost no crews to cut their labor costs and increase their 
 profits.\n This educational conference will look at the history of 
 containerization in the past and what longshore workers face today and in 
 the future to defend labor union and worker rights.\nInitial Speakers:\nBob 
 Carnegie: Maritime Union of Australia Queensland Branch Secretary\nRaquel 
 Varela: Instituto de História Contemporânea\n Honorary Fellow IISH 
 (Amsterdam), Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Study Group on Labor and Social 
 Conflicts\nKen Riley, President of Charleston ILA 1422 and IDC North
