„We’re calling for a HALT to management’s obsession with penny-pinching and worsening our working conditions.“
When deciding which video game to buy, „Is it fun?“ is no longer the only consideration. Given the state of the industry, „Do I want to support this company?“ is arguably more important. Take, for example, Ubisoft, where things seem to unravel more each day. After the floundering publisher floated even more layoffs this week, workers at its Paris headquarters said, „Enough is enough.“ They’re now calling for a three-day strike.
Unions representing Ubisoft employees plan to strike from February 10 to 12. „With management being stubbornly entrenched in its authoritarian ways, we are calling Ubisoft employees across France to join this strike, along with the five unions present within the company“, The Syndicat des Travailleureuses du Jeu Vidéo (Video Game Worker’s Union) wrote in a statement.
