Our union brothers and sisters poured into the streets today to DEMAND that ICE release Rumeysa Ozturk. YOU can show solidarity and demand to #FreeRumeysa by sharing this post. We won’t stay quiet. #4The1st

TODAY: @zenimaxworkers.bsky.social members have authorized a strike. "If Microsoft and ZeniMax continue to demonstrate at the bargaining table that they’re unwilling to pay us fair wages for the value our labor provides to our games, we’ll be showing them just how valuable our labor is.”

It's official: our members have overwhelmingly authorized a strike vote. We are united and prepared to do what it takes to fight for our first contract. We're done playing around with Microsoft.

👀 Keep your eyes open for some exciting news.

Rain, snow, sleet or shine -- CWA holds the picket line! 💪🌧️ We held another picket outside @tcgplayer.com to call out spineless tech oligarchs like Rob Bigler who are making billions while exploiting everyday people.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility to all trans workers, engineers, devs, designers, programmers, testers, writers, artists, and enthusiasts in the tech and video game industries. 🏳️‍⚧️💪

Stripping collective bargaining and union rights from workers across the federal government is the very definition of union busting — and a blatant attempt to silence us. We will fight this outrageous attack on our members with every fiber of our collective being.

ANOTHER BIG GANNETT WIN: Our Record Guild members have won a historic first contract, lifting long-stagnant wages by over 25% on average, and averting a planned walkout. More here.... nyguild.org/post/breakin...

I'm not a fan of the narrative that "no one" was there to accept LIS: DE's award because I was in the audience that night and I would have gladly done it if given the opportunity. So often Black people are erased from our accomplishments and from the conversation. kotaku.com/life-strange...

TODAY: User researchers at Activision have formed a union with CWA, joining over 2,000 union-represented workers at Microsoft-owned studios 🎉💪

BREAKING: Barnes & Noble workers have ratified historic, first-in-the-nation union contracts at three NYC Barnes & Noble stores! RWDSU Prez @stunyc.bsky.social said: “A union is the only way to ensure workplace protections are secure – especially now, while laws protecting workers are under attack.”

Even with the chaos of labor law, @tcgunioncwa.bsky.social remains resilient in the fight for a fair contract as they continue bargaining. Join us this Sunday for a town hall on how to build worker power across Syracuse! ✊

What's actually demoralizing is having repeated mass and rolling layoffs of our coworkers no matter how many hours we put into the week or how many days we spend at the office. go.awu.fyi/job-security-letter

Sergey, tech workers are not lifeless cogs in a machine -- they are human beings who deserve working conditions that are dignified and humane. If you're a Googler upset by this recommendation, reach out to @alphabetworkersunion.org

This sounds like a bad idea. If you agree, reach out to @alphabetworkersunion.org

The UAW has reached a groundbreaking tentative agreement with Rolls-Royce ahead of the contract’s expiration at midnight on Wednesday, February 26. uaw.org/uaw-reaches-...

Hard-working game devs across three WB studios are now suddenly without jobs -- the company behind games like Batman: Arkham and Mortal Kombat. Layoffs aren't "strategic," they're corporate greed. Video game workers deserve to be treated with dignity.

There is no one more powerful than working people when we organize, fight, and stand in solidarity with each other.

Video game workers are organizing globally. Ever wondered how to show support to your union siblings in different languages? 🌐💪

Bobby Kotick’s comments on a podcast uplifting billionaires are both insulting to the Activision workers who spoke out in 2021 about the harassment they faced and unsurprising.

Unlike Elon Musk and the DOGE, we know what it’s like to actually work for a living. And we’re not going to let one unaccountable billionaire rig the government for himself. That’s where we come in. We’re the Department of People Who Work for a Living. deptofpeoplewhowork.org
