Employers start with personal data on every one of their employees. And they can do slimey shit like this, if you're building a union you need to build trust, and monitoring your members wouldn't be doing that.

So what. You gotta try, even if it's not as good.

Maybe the money would be better spent on pizza to get people to come to your union meetings....

Or maybe it would be better spent on Claude. I've seen that AI do its thing, fight fire with fire.

Why would you fight trying pizza and AI?
