The Communications Workers of America (CWA) is launching the United Videogame Workers union in partnership with the American Federation of Musicians. Set to coincide with the Game Developers Conference, this new union will welcome all individuals in the gaming industry across the U.S. and Canada, including those recently laid off. The union's mission emphasizes empowering workers against exploitation and advocates for studio-specific unions, reflecting a growing movement to improve working conditions in the highly profitable gaming sector. CWA has previously made strides in the industry, supporting unionization efforts at various gaming companies.
This new gaming union will offer basically anyone in the industry--in the United States and Canada-- the opportunity to sign up and then eventually pay dues.
The mission statement mentions taking "back our lives, our labor, and our passion from those who treat us like replaceable cogs; to empower our fellow workers."
