Worker Wins!

What do you want to improve? What do you want to protect? 

By unionizing, management has the legal obligation to bargain with us in good faith over our wages, hours, and working conditions. Workers across the tech and video game industry have won major improvements to their working conditions:

• Layoffs and job security: Video game workers at Sega of America won just cause protections, meaning the company has to prove financial or performance reasons for firing someone. They also won layoff protections, including recall rights for temporary layoffs and severance for permanent layoffs.
• Wages: Tech workers at ActBlue Technical Services won significant wage increases over the term of their contract. Artists at Meow Wolf won an approximately $1 million increase in immediate wage adjustments.
• Contracting: Creative and tech workers at Blue State won limits to contracting out work done by the bargaining unit. Video game contractors at Microsoft organized and won a transition to becoming full-time direct hires.
• WFH: Tech workers at ActBlue Technical Services codified remote work protections, including protecting most job positions as permanently remote. 
• LGBTQ+ rights: Video game workers at Tender Claws won expanded rights for LGBTQ+ workers.
• AI: ZeniMax workers bargained terms over the control and use of AI in the workplace with their employer Microsoft. 
• Crediting: Sega of America workers won game crediting for all workers, including early QA testers.
