1/ At bargaining yesterday, @propublica.org management said that they should have 100% discretion to replace workers with AI and would not commit to labeling future AI-generated content.

Today, we had an all-day bargaining session with @propublica.org management. Unfortunately, they did not bring a counter proposal on AI or agree to any of the guardrails we've proposed.
It's simple — @propublica.org workers should not be replaced by artificial intelligence. Our contract proposal specifically says that generative artificial intelligence ("GAI") should not be used to replace employees. Management struck out this entire section in their response to our proposal.

Today, we join unionized nonprofit newsrooms across the country as they stand shoulder-to-shoulder to demand that news industry leaders agree to common-sense guardrails around the implementation of artificial intelligence to protect the integrity, quality, and accuracy of our journalism.

At CalMatters/The Markup union, we're proud of the AI article we ratified in our contract this year. It ensures that no union employee will be laid off because of AI, guarantees that humans are writing the news you read, and keeps our content from being used to train AI without our consent. 1/2

We're proud to support our nonprofit journalism siblings as they fight for robust safeguards around the use of AI at their publications. At Mother Jones and Reveal, we're hard at work negotiating similar protections with CIR management. Solidarity!

Hi 👋 It has been a while since you’ve heard from us, but we’re standing side-by-side with other @nyguild.bsky.social shops to send a clear, simple message: News, not slop. Readers deserve journalism crafted by human hands.

Here's how we've been fighting back during collective bargaining 👇

Additionally, management struck out:
1️⃣ Language that would prevent GAI from producing editorial work
2️⃣ A requirement that AI-generated content be clearly labeled and reviewed by human editors

This year we’ve seen employers pile on the AI-generated slop in our workplaces. In many cases, these AI deployments undermine the editorial ethics and standards journalists at
