What they ask for — in their own terms
AI must not be used to cut journalism jobs or degrade editorial standards; its use should be negotiated with the union, with transparency and protection of journalists' work.
What they do
UK and Ireland journalists' union: chapel-level negotiation over AI in newsrooms, industrial action where AI is used to justify job losses (Mirror journalists balloted for strike action over AI-linked job threats), parliamentary work on AI in journalism, and an AI policy for members.
What a newcomer can do
If you are a journalist, join the NUJ and raise AI at your chapel; ask your employer for its AI policy in writing.
Worth knowing
UNVERIFIED: the NUJ website blocked automated access, so the specific AI policy page URL and current wording could not be confirmed — only nuj.org.uk itself is given, and the 2026 industrial action is from third-party reporting (Personnel Today, Nieman Lab). Confirm directly. Route in is membership.
