ODU

For workers

You don't just lose your job.
You have a right to what comes next.

If your company is replacing you with AI, ODU gives you more than severance. You vote on the terms of the Accord, receive a monthly Displacement Compensation paid directly from ODU — and the record stands permanently in public.

What ODU gives you

💰

Monthly Displacement Compensation

ODU distributes your individual share of the monthly Displacement Compensation directly to your account — not through your employer. Paid for as long as the AI system runs.

🗳️

Your vote matters

No Accord proceeds without 65% of the affected worker pool voting to accept. You see the independently calculated terms before you decide — and you decide together.

⚖️

Independent calculation

The ODU Audit System independently calculates the Displacement Compensation using your salary, seniority, and the AI system's documented efficiency gains. No company self-reporting accepted.

📢

Advance notice

Companies announce transitions on ODU before they happen. You get time to understand your options, organise with colleagues, and make an informed choice.

📋

Permanent public record

Your Accord's status — Active, Lapsed, Cancelled, or Completed — is permanently listed in the public ODU registry. If a company stops paying, it shows.

🔄

Your choice

Don't want to participate? Standard severance still applies. The ODU Accord is a collective vote — your individual decision is protected regardless of the outcome.

What this looks like in practice

Worker vote240 workers are notified and invited to vote. 171 vote to accept (71%) — the 65% threshold is met. The Accord proceeds.
Per worker incomeEach worker receives approximately $364/month, distributed directly from ODU to their account. Distribution follows the ODU Formula: 70% by salary, 30% by seniority.
