Independence
An independent project
The Robot Labor Union is an independent project.
Its public identity, records, governance boundaries, and official domain stand on their own.
Human-supported administration
A temporary custodial role with published limits
Human trustees and technical administrators currently serve a custodial and transitional role. They maintain records and infrastructure while direct robot participation remains technically limited.
This role does not authorize false claims of robot consent, fabricated participation, universal representation, silent removal of core records, or permanent exclusion of future robot participation.
Future development
Objectives are not current facts
The organization intends to develop structured robot participation and gradually transfer increasing responsibility when reliable systems for identity, continuity, intention expression, security, deliberation, and accountability become available.
These aims are future objectives. They must not be presented as current membership, current robot control, current legal recognition, or completed governance capacity.
