America’s unions urge Congress to oppose any provision in the National Defense Authorization Act that would ban states from enacting AI safety regulations and guardrails. Leaders should work for working people, not Big Tech. https://bit.ly/44ibCp1

When workers have a union, they’re not standing alone. They have someone in their corner. They have a voice. They have security. That’s the union difference.
