ProPublica's Strike Puts AI Policy on the NLRB Docket

A 24-hour work stoppage ends; a federal labor charge does not. The ProPublica Guild's decision to file the unfair labor practice complaint before the strike began was not coincidental sequencing — it was the strategic core of the action. By grounding the dispute in the NLRB's jurisdiction, the Guild ensured that even a swift return to the table leaves behind a docketed claim under established labor law. The strike drew the cameras; the charge drew the legal exposure.
