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.

    Christ, that’s awful.

    I spent my first 12 years in the work force in a financial services firm that, during tax season (so four months out of the year) required 14 hour days, so I understand that grind a little bit.

    Awful stuff.

    It’s great seeing unions getting stronger. I just wish it didn’t have to happen out of necessity due to lackadaisical and careless governance.
