    Unions initiate AI workplace negotiations

    Labor unions, led by the machinists union, begin negotiating with employers for worker input on artificial intelligence deployment in the workplace. The unions are framing AI adoption as both a job displacement risk and a factor in wage-profit inequality.

    “The machinists union shows how workers are negotiating for a say in the ways artificial intelligence is used in their workplaces.”
