Unionize AI Workers for Safety

Organize AI researchers and engineers inside individual companies into unions (or council‑like concerted bodies) not primarily to raise pay but to negotiate safety practices, staffing, audit rights, and coordinated cross‑company non‑deployment actions. Such unions could legally protect collective safety activism and also enable cross‑company coordination (via inter‑union agreements) to blunt race‑to‑the‑bottom incentives. — If adopted, this tactic would make labor organizing a central institution in governing high‑risk technologies and change how states, firms, and civil society manage AI development.
