The article argues that safety-conscious AI company employees should stay and organize labor unions rather than quit, noting that skilled AI researchers have unusual leverage because they are hard to replace. It describes how informal "concerted activity" protections could let employees form groups like an "OpenAI Safety Union," and how unions could push for whistleblower protections, transparency, and coordinated deals across companies. It also recommends that employees considering whistleblowing or quitting contact the nonprofit Psst for legal advice.
