Ziff Davis and IGN routinely decide that work done by our laid off colleagues is not important. But inevitably, that crucial work falls onto those who remain. Not this time. Not anymore.

Ziff Davis just reported their "strongest quarterly revenue growth since 2021," up 9.8% to $352.2M, with gaming and entertainment up 7.5% YOY. So why were 8 of our members and 23 members of @zdcreatorsguild.bsky.social just laid off? bit.ly/3H0Osvb

Today, IGN laid off eight extremely valuable members of our union and workforce via directive from our parent company, Ziff Davis. This, after two incredibly successful live events IGN Live and SDCC, and yet another corporate acquisition. Please take a moment to read and share our full statement:

Ziff Davis — also IGN's parent company — implemented a huge company-wide buyout just months ago. To follow it with layoffs is unacceptable, especially when there are no signs of an end to their constant buying sprees.

An update: management has chosen not to recognize our Product, Engineering, and Humble Bundle colleagues as part of IGNCG, instead insisting on a time-consuming NLRB hearing, which took place last week. Help us spread the word: we will not be divided. We are IGN, and we will always stand together.

We stand with our peers at @voxmediaunion.bsky.social They deserve a fair contract now ✊🏻

It’s been- One week since we asked IGN Entertainment to recognize our friends on the product, engineering, and Humble Bundle teams as part of the IGN Creators Guild. The sooner that happens, the sooner we can start working with management to build towards a stronger future for us all!

Our little union is getting a bit bigger! Today, we proposed the addition of our product, engineering, and Humble Bundle folks into our unit. Join us in welcoming our peers and asking IGN Entertainment Inc. management to voluntarily recognize their addition into our union!

The NewsGuild-CWA and several Guild locals joined the Society of Professional Journalists (@spj-posts.bsky.social) in condemning recent government attacks on a free press. The White House must lift its ban on @apnews.com and stop obstructing journalists from reporting news to the American people.

📣📣WE HAVE A DEAL!📣📣 Last week, @nymagunion.bsky.social reached a tentative agreement with New York Magazine and Vox Media. We could not be prouder of our members who made it clear they were ready to withhold their labor if Vox Media didn’t meet them with a fair contract.

Holy cow, we've been public for a year! We have accomplished so much in that time. Some wins have been public, most have been behind the scenes, and the biggest are yet to come. We're proud of every single one of our members and endlessly thankful for the support of our community. More to come!

The NLRB protects workers’ right to form unions in their workplaces. President Trump illegally firing Gwynne Wilcox from the NLRB effectively shuts down their operations. This is bad for working people and good for bosses that want to deny workers’ their right to organize.

For decades, working people have fought for workplace safety and health protections that make their jobs safer. This new executive order puts all of our progress at risk. This only serves billionaires, not working people. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Dr. King believed in the strength of collective action. As union members, we carry his vision forward by showing that when workers unite, we are unstoppable. Today, we recommit to the fight for justice, equality, and the power of solidarity.
