""Frankly, this fight over the use of AI in the ProPublica newsroom demonstrates that it's the workers who are the heart of this journalistic enterprise, and who will fight to preserve it.""
""It's a real shame, and a head-scratcher, that ProPublica management isn't jumping at the opportunity to reassure donors and readers that they are just as committed as we are to human-reported and produced journalism.""
ProPublica Guild members voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike after two and a half years of negotiations for their first collective bargaining agreement. Key issues include prohibiting layoffs due to AI adoption, ensuring job security for senior employees, and securing cost-of-living wage increases. This marks a significant moment as it is the first major U.S. newsroom strike authorization related to AI protections. Union leaders emphasize the importance of workers in preserving journalistic integrity amid management's reluctance to address these concerns.
