(Recognize Our United Needs & Discuss Solutions) - National Federation of Federal Employees-IAM Local 1

The SF Bay Area hub of the Federal Unionists Network (FUN) and the California Federation of Labor Unions (Cal Fed) are hosting a critical meeting to discuss how we can push back against harmful AI in the Federal workplace. ​The Threat The current administration is aggressively pushing AI integration. While some tools can be helpful, we face urgent threats from AI-enabled "bossware" designed to monitor workers, alongside the severe risk of AI agents replacing or negatively altering federal jobs. AI is prone to abuse, and we need a plan. ​The Meeting We invite local Federal union leaders and members to join us in formulating an AI strategy. This initial meeting will cover: The Reality of AI: Risks to workers and the people we serve, current federal workplace experiences, and successful pushback strategies from other unions. ​Menu of Cal Fed Support: A preview of how the Federation can help support and mobilize federal union members, including: ​Workplace AI surveys and inventory training. ​Bargaining language and negotiation strategies. ​Congressional outreach and tactics  community organizing. ​leveraging existing laws (Privacy Act, whistleblower, etc.) and crafting new AI legislation. ​Partnership: A discussion on how to work with the Federation to access these resources Next Steps: ​RSVP ​Spread the word to other federal union local members & leaders
