Anthropic tells staff to work from home due to possible security team strike

Anthropic has instructed employees at its San Francisco offices to work from home on Monday and Tuesday due to a potential strike by security workers employed by Allied Universal. The union representing those workers, SEIU, says it hasn't called a strike or issued threats, and is in contract negotiations with Allied. The precautionary move comes amid heightened security concerns in the AI industry and as Anthropic prepares for a possible IPO.
