Adam S. Forman, Member of the Firm in the Employment, Labor & Workforce Management practice, in the firm’s Detroit office, was quoted in the Bloomberg Law Daily Labor Report, in “Trump’s AI Plan Leaves Labor Groups Wanting More Tech Guardrails,” by George Weykamp.
Following is an excerpt:
Unions are prioritizing contract language that prevents mass layoffs and overly broad use of the technology, labor observers and union leaders said. …
On the other side of the negotiating table, companies are prioritizing flexibility in contract negotiations so they can respond as the technology evolves, attorneys said. That includes memorandums of understanding and contract language that stipulates management’s rights to use technology.
That would give employers the right to make decisions about AI, “but they still have to give notice to the union and discuss the effects of these technologies on the workforce,” said Adam Forman, a member of Epstein Becker & Green P.C.
