Communications Workers of America announces industry-wide United Videogame Workers union
The Communications Workers of America (CWA) is launching an industry-wide union of video game workers in North America …
Its newly unveiled United Videogame Workers(UVW-CWA) operates a little differently to a traditional certified union, however, serving as a direct-join industry-wide organisation - said to be the first of its kind for the games industry in the US. The nature of the UVW-CWA means any freelance or full-time video game industry worker - artists, writers, designers, QA testers, programmers, and beyond- can join if they're based in the US or Canada, with dues calculated on a sliding scale. Armed with this bill, new organisers can activate with clarity of goal and action, cultivated by the shared knowledge of not only fellow game developers, but workers in the entire labour movement."
