My union doesn't have a presence on the Fedi, so please excuse the 🦋 screengrabs.

1. A quote post from ProPublica Guild (@propublicaguild.org) on Bluesky, starting from the quoted post: 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. A screenshot compares “Our Artificial Intelligence proposal” with “ProPublica Management’s response” (Management's response looks like ours, but entirely struck out): The use of GAl shall not result in the layoff of bargaining unit employees and shall not be used for the purpose of replacing or reducing bargaining unit work, reducing the number of employees, or reducing an employee's compensation. The quote post reads: 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.

  1. ProPublica Guild (@propublicaguild.org) post on Bluesky: 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 Two blocks of text compare “Our Artificial Intelligence proposal” with “ProPublica Management’s Response” and in both cases management’s is entirely struck out: > GAl shall not be used to perform work that is editorial in nature, such as the generation of article text, illustrations, photographs, graphics, video or audio. > In the event that the publishing of material generated by GAl is deemed newsworthy and ethical, such material shall be clearly labeled and disclosed and reviewed by human editors before publication. A reply to the post, also by ProPublica Guild, reads: There's no excuse for ProPublica's position on this issue. We need a fair contract, with real job security and GAI guardrails, now!

  @dphiffer It was dismaying to see this donation request post (https://newsie.social/@ProPublica/115686546158657305) from the ProPublica account, right after seeing your post.
  I left them a reply linking to your post here. Full support to you and thank you for posting this to Fedi.
