3/ Management has put itself on the wrong side of this issue. Recently, we joined 17 unions representing nonprofit newsrooms and their contributors to call for a set of common-sense guardrails around AI in journalism:
cnnu.org
2/ They have refused contract language that would shield workers from AI-related layoffs, provide us meaningful input on AI usage and mandate that any future AI-generated content be clearly labeled.

We, the staff at @thetriibe.com are unionizing. Please support us in our efforts and sign our petition.
