Are you a video game worker who's tired of being treated like you're disposable? The first step towards change starts with you. Sign our petition to demand better layoff protections and the respect you all deserve.

Every industry that relies on freelance/contract workers tell them constantly that they should be grateful for the scraps they get. I'm not content. And you shouldn't be either. You can organize. You can fight. You can win.

As a VA, gamer, & close friend of devs, I’m sick of seeing workers treated as disposable. Colleagues have been suddenly fired, uncredited, & bonuses rescinded. Canceled games meant resume gaps. Workers’ passion & labor deserve respect and pay that reflect gaming’s record profits! uvw-cwa.org

Hard to express in words how much this means to me. If you’ve ever felt disrespected or angry at the injustices workers in our industry suffer on a daily basis, if you’ve ever thought “things could be better”, now is the time to do something about it!

"Gazan children deserve more than survival. They deserve more than to simply be unmolested by the whims of tyrants. They deserve futures, joyful futures. They deserve to babble and giggle with their parents. They deserve to live free, from the river to sea." @hebagowayed.bsky.social

Folks are starting a #safeGDC tag, so I thought I’d share my own thread here that I made on the other site back in 2024. As one of *many* who had her drink spiked back in 2023, I want to emphasize safety around parties. I’ll try to keep it short. 1/10 🧵

Have, unfortunately, seen this happen first hand. Don’t trust your boss, no matter how small time they are. Join a union, or join or form a co-op. We keep each other safe.

as the games industry labor movement grows, expect the first line of reactionary response to be indie business owners complaining about how they're smol beans who can't afford to run a business if they have to recognize their employees' rights and allow them to have decent conditions

Not quite. Freelance unions can be formed by other means, such as joining an existing local, or working with a union which is willing to put the resources into growing a freelancing campaign. This IS how WGA and SAG-AFTRA have started: mass mobilization of studio workers and contractors

This feels like a major inflection point. If ICE can apparently unlawfully arrest & disappear a permanent resident and it is not immediately met with strong opposition from the public, officials, and courts, there is no going back.

Migrants are being blamed for everything from the housing crisis to hospital wait times to joblessness—and it couldn’t be further from the truth. In our new video, migrants and advocates debunk the myths that Canada’s elite are using to distract and divide the rest of us.

🔴🌪️ STRUGGLE PAYS: AGREEMENT REACHED AT DON’T NOD Management wanted to fire them like trash, but workers won in reducing the numbers of layoffs, a 13 000 € compensation in addition to the legal minimum, and strike days being paid. Details here: www.stjv.fr/en/2025/...
