You ever notice that you keep emailing that boss and things just stay the same? 😒 maybe your other coworkers are experiencing the same thing 🧐

Automation tools and generative AI platforms are threatening the very tasks many admin staff, including our union members, perform. According to a study by Oxford, we even can predict when AI will be fully able to take over specific kinds of jobs. Katja Grace's team at the University of Oxford’s Future of Humanity Institute contacted 1634 leading AI academics and industry experts from around the world to ask them when they thought intelligent machines would outperform humans at a variety of tasks and occupations, and when they would be superior at all tasks. A total of 352 experts responded, and the researchers calculated median dates based on their predictions. In the next decade, they expect AI to outperform humans in tasks such as translating languages (which they have already done), writing high-school essays (which is now an epidemic on college campuses) and driving a truck (already in development.)
Without strong contract language, union protections may be weaker for “admin support” categories, especially when companies redefine roles as “coordinators” or “gig” workers and introduce abased monitoring or task elimination. That’s why as a union, we have bargained for, and won strong AI language into our agreements including definitions, limitations, and displacement pay.
If you’re unionized (or trying to be), demand that your contract include clear language about how AI or automation tools will impact your role: job security guarantees, notice of task changes, retraining, severance if elimination. Admin workers; you’re part of the creative ecosystem. Your role matters.
AI is no longer scifi. It’s entering scheduling tools, and, production workflows. Understand how your tasks might change and negotiate protections now.
The policy environment matters. Push for legislation that updates worker protections in the age of AI, support pro-union legislation to win back rights stripped away. If you want to be more involved, or have question, defiantly dm us! Do your best to enjoy union made candy, and be in solidarity with other poor and working class people this Halloween.

To be an OPEIU member means you probably see other details that others don't. It means you're probably often the fixer, and that you are the glue that holds the whole work flow together. It definitely means your boss has no idea what to do when you're not there. You make multitasking look easy, you do the tasks that others think just happen on their own.

We know that workers like you are often not appreciated for the value you bring to your workplace. We see you, we value you, and we think you deserve a workplace that gives you benefits, and a wage that's fair. We believe in economic justice for you and your coworkers.

No matter your job sector, OPEIU sees you. Our local focus on the Entertainment sector, but there are thousands of us out there in every job market. Want a union at your workplace? Today is the day to start.

This post was not made with A.I.

Are we the only ones that's noticed that it is almost nearly impossible to escape the forced application of artificial intelligence in our everyday lives? And most of the time, the AI generated result in a google search is inaccurate! Technology should move us forward, and solve real world problems that plague working class people everyday. AI should especially not replace working class people and put them out of a job. As a union, we're proud to fight for AI protections at the table that helps keep our members protected. If only they'd make AI that could replace Billionaires......

Some good news! We recently finished negotiations with Disney. The number one thing our members wanted was wage increases, which was gained in this new contract over the next three years. This is the power of what organizing can do in your workplace. It gives you and all your coworkers a voice to change your job for the better. Could your work could benefit from a Collective Bargaining Agreement? DM us! When we fight, we win!
