Fondness to Education and Learning
The ALHWU is also making sure that it focuses on the establishment of the education and training practices.
The partners or sponsors of the learning plans by the union have the objective of assisting the members to build on what is existing and the best in their industry.
Thanks to this fact, people connected with the maritime sector will be able to train new workplaces associated with the organization of automated systems or logistics.
The union supports learning needs of the members so as to enable them to be prepared in case of any changes in their career.
This would make sure that technology is created in the appropriate direction.
The ALHWU acknowledges the fact that technology has now played a leading role in the operations of ports and harbors.
But it also says that it must not result into sacrifice of workers due to innovation.
To take care of this, there will always be presence of policymakers, industry captains,
and labor experts in the debate by the union on balanced and reasonable advancement in technology.
It is not afraid to introduce high-tech devices and it also defends the interests and the rights of its members.
In every case, the ALHWU tries to make certain that the workers are not left behind as a result of changes in the workplace.
It seeks smooth transitioning where members of the maritime industry are handled properly and with respect to the level of experienced ones.
The union helps the members to deal with and exploit new technologies
by promoting fair working conditions and retraining opportunities to all the members.
Besides this, it also persuades governments to establish clear policies, implement high standards of safety at the workplace,
and assist in training the workers so that they may be able to explore their skills.
The trade Union aim is notto resist progress but direct it.
The administration of ALHWU considers that the people and technology have to be enhanced concurrently.
Done right, both the unions and the private sector can produce results that can be beneficial to the workers, the businesses and the whole economy.
Within this vision ports are functioning efficiently,
deal with competition and provide security and employees are safe, appreciated and ready to meet the challenges of the future.
