The history of modern work is not a straight line, but a sequence of responses to concrete problems of productivity, organisation and technology. From Taylorism and Fordism, through the Toyota production system and the Lean philosophy, the role of the worker has mutated constantly in the face of the demands of each era. Today, we face a new threshold: Artificial Intelligence. Beyond the technical, the challenge posed by AI is profoundly political, social and human. The central question of our time is not what technology will be able to do, but who will govern its implementation and whether it will be at the service of human work or whether work will be subordinated to the algorithm. Union leadership today has the responsibility of being the architect of this transition, ensuring that efficiency does not sacrifice dignity. We invite you to explore this historical journey and the six prospective scenarios that define the future of work in this decade.
