This inclusive direct-join union allows individuals to become members without needing workplace organization, accommodating freelancers and unemployed workers. The mission focuses on addressing industry issues such as low wages, long work hours, harassment, and layoffs. By empowering workers, the union intends to reshape the gaming industry to support its talent and prioritize sustainable practices over short-term profits.
The United Videogame Workers union is a direct-join union, allowing individuals to join without needing to organize workplaces, creating inclusivity for all game workers.
Our mission is to take back our lives, our labor, and our passion from those who treat us like replaceable cogs; to empower our fellow workers.
The gaming industry faces numerous problems including low wages, long hours, harassment, and job insecurity, leading to the formation of this new union.
We must be the ones that set the terms of how we work. The union's aim is to create a game industry that nourishes its talent.
