It's been a blast talking to so many video game workers (and new UVW-CWA members!) about what we've been cooking 🔥 #GDC2025

To Be Attacked by the Enemy Is Not a Bad Thing but a Good Thing

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.

March through Yerba Buena at gdc from the game workers union @cwaunion.bsky.social

"UVW-CWA is a home for video game workers who have been laid off, students, and freelance contractors. You pay your dues and you're in the union." -KB

Chat, we just hit 250 members

Appreciate the United Videogame Workers for ratifying "videogames" as one word. Another victory for the @pcgamer.com style guide. www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

So incredibly proud to see @jdespland.bsky.social & @ckjong.bsky.social today holding the banner of @videogameworkers.bsky.social. In 2018, we were meeting for the first time to kickstart GWU MTL. In 2021, we formed Vodeo Workers United. The first certified union of videogame workers in NA.

i’m so excited for GDC this year. an industry-wide union was long overdue and i can’t believe it’s finally happening! 😭✊ come see us at booth C1701 if you’re attending!

I'm super excited to finally share our union for the games industry that you can join RIGHT NOW!! As a freelancer, the idea of unions felt out of reach for us - but now we have a union that any worker in the entire industry can join!

And we're just getting started.

This needs to become the default. Like working with union voice actors. If you’re hiring full time or freelance, rules should be governed that set the minimum quality of life in a collective agreement. Exciting first steps!!

new video game union just dropped #UVW-CWA

✊✊✊✊✊

Industry-wide union UVW-CWA has already welcomed over 100 new members

The UVW-CWA is a major, new union that is open to everyone in the gaming industry, regardless of employment status.

Good morning! Change is coming for games employment - if you work in the industry, have been laid off by the industry, freelance, etc. you are eligible to join CWA’s industry-wide union. Pick up the zine for workers rights from #GDC2025 here! uvw-cwa.org/news/read-uv...

HAPPENING NOW: Join us for our first #GDC2025 panel of the week where we'll be sharing more about UVW-CWA and industry-wide organizing in video games. schedule.gdconf.com/session/vide...

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

We are proud to announce the formation of United Videogame Workers-CWA, a direct-join organization made of, by, and for workers of the video game industry! Learn more and get involved: uvw-cwa.org

BREAKING: U.S. and Canada video game worker are launching an industry-wide union with the Communications Workers of America. The @cwaunion.bsky.social, the American Federation of Musicians, and workers everywhere are creating this major new organization to build power across the industry.

cwa, which represents over 2,000 workers across companies like microsoft, is launching a new games industry-wide union that anyone can join, even laid-off workers. with legal frameworks for organizing under attack, it's a return to tactics that predate those systems aftermath.site/uvw-cwa-vide...
