The story

A leaked seating chart from a private meeting dubbed 'Stolen Intelligence' has prompted allegations that major AI companies coordinated anti-union strategies. The document, published September 29, 2026, by blogger Dominic Erevolina on Bluesky, purports to show executives from leading AI firms seated together during a closed-door session. Labor advocates claim the arrangement suggests collusion to suppress worker organizing efforts across the industry. No participating company has confirmed attendance or acknowledged the meeting’s existence. The authenticity of the seating chart remains unverified by independent sources. If substantiated, the alleged coordination could violate U.S. labor laws prohibiting employer collusion against unionization. The leak intensifies ongoing tensions between AI workers seeking collective representation and employers resisting formal bargaining structures. Regulatory bodies have not announced investigations but may face pressure to examine potential unfair labor practices.
