Video game workers in North America now have an industry-wide union


The United Videogame Workers-CWA (UVW-CWA) is a new industry-wide union operating in North America. Organizers will be on hand at GDC to pass out pamphlets and answer questions.

The United Videogame Workers-CWA (UVW-CWA) has a mission to bring together "artists, writers, designers, QA testers, programmers, freelancers and beyond to build worker power irrespective of studio and current job status." The union makes its official debut at the "Video Game Labor at a Crossroads: New Pathways to Industry-Wide Organizing" panel at GDC. Workers will be sharing a petition at the event to gain support for the union and to shine a light on the recent glut of industry layoffs.
