Many creative workers have cheered on these media companies as they chase the AI companies through the courts, and some artists' groups have even submitted amicus briefs on their behalf. But the *New York Times* - a company that has repeatedly used the dirtiest union-busting tactics imaginable against its workers - is not suing OpenAI to ensure that creative workers don't lose wages to AI.

They're suing to make sure that the *Times* gets a bigger piece of the action when that happens. If the *Times*, Disney and Warner prevail, they will immediately amend their standard, non-negotiable contracts to require every creative worker who does any work for them to exclusively and irrevocably sign over the right to train AI with our labor, and the resulting models will be used to attack our jobs and wages. 36/
