Une nouvelle vague de licenciements chez Behaviour à Montréal - si vous êtes affecté·e (et si le nombre annoncé de ~30 travailleu·se·rs est correct), vous avez droit à un préavis d'au moins 8 semaines ou à un salaire équivalent. Ne signez rien qui vous offre moins! bsky.app/profile/game...

UBISOFT A l'occasion de l'audience qui se tient aujourd'hui, nous publions UBITRASH, une vidéo résumant l'affaire d'un point de vue syndicale : des conditions de travail dégradées et toxiques amenant la condamnation pénale de plusieurs cadres dirigeants. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MU-...

Who are we? We are #gamedev.s and other workers in the German #gamesindustry! What do we want? A #gamesindustry without mismanagement, crunch, underpayment and harassment. And now we have a website, so you can join us! ✊️ game-workers.de

Note that the workers who made Beast Breaker ARE getting rev-share on sales of the game on Steam, even though the studio shut down. Why? Because we had a union, and we negotiated for it.

Do you work in the games industry? Join us for the first Game Workers Conference, online May 22nd & 23rd ❤️✊🏽

Union workers send a message to game industry execs: 'Let go of the power now, or be forced to let go of it later.'

They will often burn everything to the ground before giving into worker demands, even if those demands would make them more money.

Solidarity with game workers in the US who this past week marched through GDC demanding a Game Workers' Bill of Rights. Video games are worker-made. It's time to organise and demand secure careers. Together we can build a sustainable industry. www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

Do you work in games? Are you tired of corporate greed taking over our industry? Do you miss when industry events were by workers, for workers? The United Videogame Workers of CWA, in partnership with other unions and worker-centered organizations, announce the #GameWorkersConference. May 22-23 ❤️‍🔥

Congratulations to the workers at Heart Machine! It's great to see more unions winning voluntary recognition! Félicitations aux travailleu·se·rs de Heart Machine! C'est bon de voir plus de syndicats obtenir la reconaissance volontaire par leur employeur!

We’re Done Playing! Standing up for Video Game Workers

Thank you to BGS Montreal, @videogameworkers.bsky.social, and #GWU for standing with us at #Ubisoft Montreal. Reconnecting with colleagues and sharing our story reminded us why this matters. We’ll keep going until fair treatment is secured. #solidarity

Union-Made Game Jam is now open for sign-ups! Next week, UVW members and friends are making some bite-sized, union-themed games to show at our GDC booth! We hope you’ll join us! #UnionMadeJam itch.io/jam/union-ma...

What’s that?! Solidarity from our friends in Montreal? On vous aime et on vous apprécie énormément. ❤️ #Solidarity #Montreal #JeuVideo

Nos revendications peuvent différer, mais nos besoins sont les mêmes : amener plus de démocratie sur nos lieux de travail. Syndiquez-vous ! ✊

C’est pour ça que nous vous renvoyons vers nos camarades de @gwu-montreal.bsky.social et leur brochure sur vos droits : gameworkers.github.i... Mais aussi pour vous y impliquer directement : docs.google.com/form...

Vous êtes important·es. Vous avez des droits. Et vous n’êtes pas seul·es 🤝 Certain·es d’entre vous nous ont déjà contacté pour savoir comment participer à la transformation en cours dans l’entreprise. Évidemment, nous devons faire attention de ne pas vous donner de mauvais conseils…

Les syndicats en France et au Québec sont différents, mais défendent la même mission : donner du pouvoir à celles et ceux qui travaillent dur pour créer les jeux d’Ubisoft. Ubisoft Montréal est le plus grand studio de jeux vidéo au monde ; vous êtes le cœur de l’industrie vidéoludique au Québec.

🌀 Pour nos chères et chers collègues d’Ubisoft Montréal. Vous avez peut être entendu parler de ce qui se passe en France en ce moment : cette semaine, nous sommes en grève du 10 au 12 février.

We may have different fights ahead, but our needs are the same: bringing more democracy to our workplaces. Unionize! ✊

Which is why we’d like to redirect you towards our comrades at @gwu-montreal.bsky.social and their brochure on your rights: gameworkers.github.i... And also to get involved directly: docs.google.com/form...

You matter. You have rights. And you’re not alone 🤝 Some of you have gotten in touch with us to participate in changing the company. Of course, we need to avoid giving you bad advice…

Unions in France and Québec are different, but we fight for the same goal: giving back power to those hard at work creating Ubisoft games. Ubisoft Montréal is the biggest video games studio in the world ; you are at the heart of Québec’s video games industry.

🇬🇧🌀 For our dear colleagues at Ubisoft Montréal, You may have heard about what’s going on in France right now: this week, we’re on strike from Feb 10th to 12th

Not everyone knows where to start when it comes to organizing. We’ve put together a resources page for #GameWorkers Sharing in case it helps. ubisoftworkerscanada.com/organizing-e... ubisoftworkerscanada.com/organizing-f... #GWU #GameDev

Please help! We haven’t stopped making games. We’ve just stopped getting paid for it. #DevLife #StillGameDevs

📢 Au moins 1200 personnes en grève dans le groupe Ubisoft aujourd'hui ! Les travailleureuses disent non à la stratégie de l'échec de la dynastie Guillemot et oui à la liberté de fabriquer de bons jeux vidéo dans de bonnes conditions. La grève continue demain et après-demain ✊

🇬🇧📢 At least 1200 workers from Ubisoft were on strike today ! Workers are rejecting the Guillemot dynasty's loser strategy and demanding the freedom to make good games in good working conditions. The strike will continue tomorrow and the day after ✊

#Ubisoft tells workers to ask: “If these actions were publicly disclosed by the media, how would they reflect on me or on Ubisoft?” A studio was closed weeks after #union certification. If that doesn’t sit right with you, here’s a way to speak up: actionnetwork.org/letters/re-o...

✊🌀 Ubisoft : Les organisations syndicales ont appelées à la grève les 10, 11 et 12 février. Voici la liste des piquets qui auront lieu partout en France ⤵️

🇬🇧✊🌀 Ubisoft: unions called for a strike on February 10th, 11th and 12th. Here is the list of all the pickets around France ⤵️

✊🌀 Ubisoft : trop, c’est trop ! Les organisations syndicales appellent à la grève les 10, 11 et 12 février prochains, face à l’arbitraire d’un patron qui n’ose même plus s’exprimer auprès des employé·es.
