""There are many areas where we think that technology being pushed from the top down without input from people doing the work is where some critical mistakes are likely to happen," John Tucker, a senior representative for the union of 3,400 city employees, told San José Spotlight."
""We really just want to set up some basic guardrails about new technology that actually improves public services and that's not creating new risks for workers in the community.""
San Jose's AFSCME Local 101 union is advocating for worker protections in the deployment of generative AI tools during contract negotiations with the city. The union's proposals include preventing AI from replacing workers, limiting its use in hiring and performance monitoring, and establishing a joint oversight committee for new technologies. Concerns have arisen over potential job displacement and the risks of poorly implemented automated systems. City officials are currently reviewing these proposals as part of broader contract discussions.
