Big news for the gaming world! The first-ever industry-wide video game union in North America has officially been announced. The “United Video Game Workers of Canada” (UVGW) and the “Campaign to Organize Digital Employees” (CODE) have joined forces with the Communications Workers of America (CWA) to create a union open to anyone working in the video game industry.
This landmark announcement aims to provide a collective voice for game developers, designers, artists, QA testers, and all other professionals in the often demanding and sometimes volatile video game sector. The union will focus on advocating for better working conditions, fair wages, and improved benefits across the industry.
The initiative comes at a time when discussions around crunch culture, job security, and fair compensation are increasingly prevalent in the gaming world. By uniting workers across different companies and roles, the UVGW hopes to create a more equitable and sustainable environment for everyone involved in creating the games we love. This is a potentially game-changing moment for the industry!
