Good article on the challenges we’re up against in getting a fair contract from Gannett, including protection against unethical use of AI.

On Fridays the Newspaper Guild of Rochester pickets. We're waiting for bargaining dates Gannett. #faircontractnow

Using bots with artificial intelligence to replace journalists with actual intelligence is clearly a stupid idea for anyone who cares about news and democracy.

It’s ridiculous that Gannett, which owns so many local newspapers, is having such a hard time understanding this.

Gannett has used shady AI companies to undermine the work of ethical journalists. Folks like Steve are fighting to make sure news sources are trustworthy!

“Gannett’s top management extols itself for its commitment to excellent journalism while deploying espionage on its own employees? What a bunch of phonies.”

This is among the issues of our fight for a #faircontract for Newspaper Guild of Rochester journalists. And for the record, I'm not AI.

The Newspaper Guild of Rochester is still fighting for a fair contract! Let's bargain, @gannett Democrat & Chronicle!

We’re lunching out in solidarity with our Gannett regional union siblings who are fighting for AI protections. futurism.com/advon-ai-conte… Newspaper Guild of Rochester 🤖

We'll be outside the Democrat and Chronicle soon. Come by and make some noise for local news! ✊

Why is Newspaper Guild of Rochester fighting for AI protection in our contract? Because AI is already being used to generate (garbage) content at Gannett properties. This isn’t a far-off future concern; this dystopian news landscape is already here.

🚨🚨 #ROC : Despite its lies that it's bargaining in good faith, Gannett still hasn't negotiated a fair contract w Newspaper Guild of Rochester. Stop by the picket line tonight at Democrat & Chronicle to show #Solidarity ! #labor #1u

Gannett #ArtificialIntelligence simply cannot do what local journalists do. Yet Gannett has backtracked on protections against #AI -driven layoffs.

COLLECTIVE 👏 ACTION 👏 WORKS 👏

Congrats to our colleagues at condeunion for winning a TA on their first contract!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When we fight we win!!! ❤️💪
