I look forward to the day where all of my nerdy hobbies are union made! Solidarity with you all and I look forward to reading good news!

PSA: No Kings is supporting watch parties for the Committee for the First Amendment Concert on June 14th- not mobilizations. There are several non-affiliated scam PACs trying to raise money by promising a mass protest that's not actually happening on June 14th. Block them and tell your friends.

The money was always there for the good things.

Our union election is beginning this week with in person voting on Tuesday, followed by a mail in period ending on the 23rd. We’ll be quieter on socials during the election, but will still post periodic updates.

🚨 Our Healthcare Town Hall is in ONE WEEK!!!! 🚨 Game workers in the US, we'd love to hear from you about the current challenges you face securing insurance and get your feedback on a couple of the things we've got cookin'. Registration link is here 👇

For my friends and comrades at @uwotc-official.bsky.social

WHAT DAY IS IT

"I’m organizing because I’m a firm believer in the democratic process. Arena workers deserve to have their voices heard when it comes to our working conditions when we dedicate so much of our lives to this project."

UWOTC-CWA is seeking layoff protections for our members. Corporations are often short term profit seeking entities beholden only to shareholders — we believe this is detrimental to the health and well-being of our workforce. unitedwizardsofthecoast.com/news/2026-05...

UK-based Rockstar game workers formally announce union: aftermath.site/rockstar-games...

Zohran Mamdani is right. Bezos must pay his fair share in taxes.

IT'S HOT UNION SUMMER BABYYYYYYYYYYY

"I’m voting yes because my family deserves the stability that comes from me having a say in my own future. Having a seat at the table when decisions are being made that affect every part of my life means I can do my best by everyone who depends on me."

It's a known fact that being part of a union makes you 13% more attractive

Amazing work from our comrades at Dark Horse! Solidarity!

🚨"RIGHT INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET"🚨 ICE agents continues to push peaceful protesters onto oncoming traffic outside the Delaney Detention Center. WATCH LIVE ⬇️ @JordanChariton & @JonFarinaPhoto

"I’m unionizing because I love my workplace culture, my coworkers, and the game that we make. Unfortunately, Hasbro leadership has shown they are far less invested in those things than we are."

The idea that a company could claim every idea you have as their own just because you're their employee is ludicrous and frankly bad practice! Workers hold back their best ideas because they're afraid the company will prevent them from working on it. It's lose lose!

"I’m unionizing to fight a system that has repeatedly failed to create paths for advancement, retention, and sustainable workloads, leaving teams like mine stuck in cycles of instability and burnout."

🇬🇧✊ The STJV section at Arkane is calling for a strike on May 28 to secure serious and fair negotiations on remote work conditions. Its terms must be negotiated based on workers’ experiences rather than imposed unilaterally by management. www.stjv.fr/en/2026/05/a...

Thank you to everyone who tuned into our first ever Game Workers Conference! Onto next year! Conference streams are still freely available Day 1: www.youtube.com/live/CFF97Oj... Day 2: www.youtube.com/live/3e1yOhV... And please fill out our feedback form: gameworkersconference.org/feedback-form

YOU’RE LISTENING TO SISYPHUS FM, THE HOME OF NON-STOP ROCK

Did you know? @videogameworkers.bsky.social is holding a ✨Healthcare Townhall✨ June 8th at 5PM PT / 8PM ET! Game workers deserve healthcare. UVW is working on solutions and we need your input. Join us: actionnetwork.org/events/healt...

So proud of what our freelancers are doing to raise conditions for all!

From @gameworkerscon.bsky.social: DOWN WITH "FUCK YOU, I GOT MINE" BRING BACK GIVING A SHIT ✊✊✊

"I am organizing because I think it’s the best path forward for our team, and the games industry, to ensure that devs have a say in the decisions made about us."

This talk is so good! Required reading for all developers, and triple for those who feel powerless and alone

Carolyn Jong, on how employers are, in fact, the ones benefitting the most when gaming audiences direct their anger towards vulnerable game workers, and how that produces a chilling effect that can undermine organizing efforts.

Thanks for the shoutout! Go watch the Game Workers Conference and hear some great talks they have lined up, including hearing from unions across the industry. It's a conference organized by countless game workers that make this massive industry successful. Day 2 is starting now! youtu.be/3e1yOhVyMfw

From the No Games for Genocide talk: "And this is just a reminder of what we can accomplish if we come together. Something like a boycott, it doesn't make an impact when there's one of us, but when it's all of us working together, we're able to create something more powerful."

IWGB Game Workers gives us an update on the Rockstar Games Workers Union: "as you can see, rumours of the Rockstar Games Workers Union's death have been greatly exaggerated. The support we've received from all areas has been one of the most invigorating parts of this whole situation."

A new @epi.org report found that US companies are spending more than $1.5 billion a year on union-busting consultants and lawyers. They’ll spend unlimited money crushing workers’ voices and then claim there’s no money for better conditions.

MALE LONELINESS? NEVER HEARD OF IT. WE GIFT PPE AROUND HERE.

so Horses was a problem, but Valve I guess is fine with this racist crap that flagrantly violates at least two of its content guidelines and has 300+ reviews that all almost certainly violate those guidelines too kotaku.com/racist-plant...

That's not how unions work, Wizards of the Coast management aftermath.site/magic-the-gath...

couldn't be us. Also, one of the cool things about worker led conferences is we don't need to run ads so we can do cool things like shouting out our fellow organizing workers at Wizards of the Coast

Talks are starting in less than 20 seconds! Here is an updated stream link www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFF9...

Wizards: We love our employees! 😇 Also Wizards: If you try to unionize we will take EVERYTHING YOU HAVE 👿

Magic: The Gathering Arena developers are petitioning to unionize, and Wizards of the Coast has responded by sending employees ominous letters urging them not to. https://kotaku.com/wizards-of-the-coast-begs-staff-think-twice-unionize-2000698346

I hear if you say "Union" three times in front of the mirror, you see the specter of a strong, proud worker (It's you)

Saying "It may be helpful to understand how union representation works:" before proceeding to spread old lies about how union representation works is unfortunately both crazy and very predictable.

Today, the IGNCG sent this letter to our President of Ziff Davis Gaming & Entertainment to demand pay that reflects the rate of inflation in our contract. Please join us in asking @errorjustin.bsky.social, @peer-ign.bsky.social, @corradimus.bsky.social, and @yprough.bsky.social to pay us fairly.

As the games organization movement grows and continues to succeed, it's essential that we as workers know what to expect from the boss' old bag of tricks. Learn about union busting, common tactics, and your rights regarding organizing. Call it out when you see it and certainly don't fall for it.

Game Workers Conference is only THREE DAYS away! "the conference is free, it's remote, speakers are going to be paid, so join us and find a watch party near you." Giselle Francis - Game Writer & Narrative Designer

Huh, moving jobs out of the US. I wonder why that could be 🤔
