US Unions Push for AI Usage Safeguards

According to an Ernst and Young survey, as of November 2026, nearly 70% of US government agencies have used generative AI. Facing the widespread adoption of AI in the public sector, US public sector unions are accelerating efforts to secure more protections against AI surveillance and automation-driven layoffs. Union demands center on two main points: first, restricting or regulating employers' use of AI to monitor employees, and second, preventing layoffs caused by AI automation. As the share of government agencies adopting generative AI continues to rise, unions are moving faster to push for related safeguards. The matter is still at the stage where unions are seeking negotiations; reports say unions are pushing for these protections, with no mention of whether any specific agreements have been reached with employers or the government.
