Hi all: Please take and share our "AI in the workplace" survey. More information is below and attached. Please reach out to me with any questions or if you'd like to discuss. In solidarity, Rachel - - The Harry Bridges Center for Labor Studies (Bridges Center) is partnering with the Washington State Labor Council (WSLC), AFL-CIO, and the Coalition for Black Trade Unionists, Puget Sound Chapter, to better understand union workers’ and labor leaders’ current experiences with and perspectives regarding artificial intelligence (AI). *We are especially trying to build a better understanding of whether workers experience the impacts of technology differently based on their identities and backgrounds.* We have created a survey for union members, staff, and leadership, as well as non-union workers. For union members, staff, and/or leadership, depending on your role, you will respond to different questions. All responses will be anonymized, and our report will focus on trends. Please complete and share this survey (it takes 5-15 minutes, depending on your/members’ experiences with AI). *Direct survey link: tinyurl.com/mruwz9e4 <http://tinyurl.com/mruwz9e4>* Research is being led by Bridges Center Research Director, Rachel Erstad, and PhD candidate and Bridges Center Graduate Researcher, Joice Tang. *Both are proud union members of UAW 4121. * Please reach out to Rachel Erstad, Research Director at the Bridges Center, with any questions regarding this project. -- Rachel Erstad (she/her) Research Director Harry Bridges Center for Labor Studies <https://labor.washington.edu/> rerstad@uw.edu 206.543.7946 (Office)

Hi all, Apologies to those who also just received this through the LRAN listserv, but for anyone not on both, this is for you! We are keeping our "AI in the workplace" survey open through the end of 2026. Please take it and share it with other workers. While we have questions for union members, staff, and leadership, you do not need to be a union member to take this survey. We are especially interested in increasing survey participation among Black workers and other workers of color. More information is provided below, and a survey flyer is attached. Thank you to everyone who has already taken or shared the survey. In solidarity, Rachel - - The Harry Bridges Center for Labor Studies is partnering with the Coalition for Black Trade Unionists, Puget Sound Chapter, and the Washington State Labor Council (WSLC), AFL-CIO, to better understand union workers’ and labor leaders’ current experiences with and perspectives regarding artificial intelligence (AI). We are especially trying to build a better understanding of whether workers experience the impacts of technology differently based on their identities and backgrounds, with a focus on Black workers and other workers of color. We have created a survey for all workers, including *union members, staff, and leadership.* Your responses are anonymous, and our report will focus on trends. *Please complete this survey (it takes 5-15 minutes, depending on your/members’ experiences with AI) and share it with staff, leadership, members, and non-union workers. * *Direct survey link: tinyurl.com/mruwz9e4 <http://tinyurl.com/mruwz9e4>* Our survey currently has over 300 responses, and we hope to grow this, especially amongst workers of color, by the end of the year.
