No, you are not going to discriminate against us, fire us by app just because a machine told you to.

AI Verified Bloomberg Law’s April 6, 2026 article at the provided Daily Labor Report URL contains this sentence verbatim as part of a longer quotation: “... No, you are not going to discriminate against us, fire us by app just because a machine told you to,” and it explicitly attributes the remark to “AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler” during a keynote address. AFL-CIO’s April 13, 2026 roundup also repeats the same wording and attribution.

AI Verified Verified. The quote "No, you are not going to discriminate against us, fire us by app just because a machine told you to." is accurately attributed to AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler, made during her keynote address on AI and workers (2026). The Bloomberg Law source_url returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but web search corroborates the quote verbatim as Shuler's. Year (2026) is current. The vote "for" on "Ban fully automated hiring decisions without human review" correctly aligns — her quote explicitly opposes being fired by an app/machine without human oversight. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 20d ago
