ā€œEven when there is a quorum [at NLRB], this is not an unusual strategy. But now [MGB leaders] get the added benefit that the delay is likely to be even longer because there’s not even a chance of getting a decision right now.ā€ - Sharon Block ā˜®ļø The Boston Globe bostonglobe.com/2025/05/29/bus…

"We need meaningful human oversight and worker input...Preventing states like Massachusetts from considering policy like the FAIR Act would...leave workers and their families exposed to the unchecked harms of AI." Sharon Block ā˜®ļø Chrissy Lynch The Boston Globe bostonglobe.com/2025/06/11/opi…

In the budget bill, there’s a provision that would ban all AI regulation for 10 years, even already-existing laws. Workers are the experts - they should be the people making decisions about AI in their workplace, not Silicon Valley tech CEOs. bostonglobe.com/2025/06/11/opi…

Advances in AI tech should not dehumanize workers or put their jobs in jeopardy.Ā  Working people are the experts at their jobs. They make corporate profits happen. And they should have a voice in deciding how AI is implemented in their workplaces. bostonglobe.com/2025/06/11/opi…

The NLRA is under attack, and it’s not just workers who would lose out. Unions are fundamental to a functioning democracy, and strong unions can mount a defense for workers and for democracy. Read our latest in Democracy Journal ā¬‡ļø democracyjournal.org/magazine/77/th…
