no official CWA press release yet, but here’s the union’s:
Workers at Bethesda Game Studios have joined the Communication Workers of America, forming the first wall-to-wall union at a Microsoft video game studio. The workers, consisting of 241 developers including artists, engineers, programmers and designers have either signed a union authorization card or indicated that they wanted union representation via an online portal. Microsoft has recognized the union.
and here’s their Twitter account
Damn good news. The video game industry is so predatory, they need unions just to try to have normal office schedules and stuff.
Wow such great news. I hope we will see more of that to change that industry a little.
Yay!!!
I can’t get myself to click a twitter link, so in case others feel the same, here’s an alternate piece that basically says the same thing (I can’t yet find an article with detailed info): https://www.ign.com/articles/bethesda-game-studios-microsoft-game-studios
For twitter links try libredirect, it automatically sends you to a nitter instance
nitter no longer works, it ceased development and thus will no longer work, best to turn it off in libredirect.
nitter.poast.org works for now
Yes but I’d rather not touch a fascist site (poast to be clear).
Good.
Kick management in the dick.
Hell yeah!!!
The upper management needed the wake up call
!!! Yay for them! This is great to hear.
FUCKING BASED
Fantastic news for the devs!
Bethesda has needed a lot more humanity for a long time.
Too bad it happened only after the competent staff was gone.
