Anthropic asks San Francisco staff to work from home as security guards may strike

August 25 - Anthropic has asked its San Francisco office employees to work from home starting this week, citing a possible strike by security guards at its workplace. However, the union representing the guards said it had no knowledge of such a strike. According to a source familiar with the matter, Anthropic received a notice last week from its security services provider, Allied Universal, stating that its employees might go on strike. Anthropic subsequently informed its own staff not to come into the San Francisco office on Monday and Tuesday as a precaution.
