    The staff members won federal recognition for their union on March 17, according to the statement, and wrote that two weeks after the election to form a union, they were told they would lose their jobs.

    Hell of a coincidence

      it’s glaringly obvious union busting and they’re litigating it, but afaik NEDA is pushing forward anyways. this is despite the fact that even the chatbot’s creators don’t think it’s suited for what they want it to do!
