""We've been working to resolve this quietly for over two years. This is a moment to make clear to management and to the public how important these issues are to the people who produce this work.""
"One of the major issues workers are walking out over is how generative AI will be used at ProPublica - and disclosed to audiences - going forward."
Unionized staff at ProPublica are staging a 24-hour work stoppage as they negotiate a collective bargaining agreement. Key issues include protections regarding AI use, disciplinary provisions, layoff protections, and wages. The ProPublica Guild, consisting of about 150 members, has been negotiating for over two years. The strike was authorized in March if an agreement was not reached. The use of generative AI in the newsroom is a significant concern for the workers, who seek clarity on its implementation and disclosure to audiences.
