AI Collective Bargaining
Union negotiations addressing AI deployment, worker monitoring, and algorithmic management.
Definition
AI Collective Bargaining refers to labor union efforts to negotiate terms governing AI deployment in the workplace. Key bargaining issues:
- Advance notice: Requiring notification before AI deployment affecting workers
- Impact bargaining: Negotiating effects of AI on jobs, duties, and conditions
- Algorithmic management: Terms governing AI-driven scheduling, performance evaluation, discipline
- Surveillance limits: Restrictions on AI-powered worker monitoring
- Training rights: Worker access to AI training and reskilling
- Data rights: Control over worker data used in AI systems
Recent collective bargaining agreements in entertainment, journalism, and other sectors have included AI provisions. NLRB has addressed AI-related unfair labor practice charges.
