Employees at Bethesda Games Studios have announced they are joining the Communication Workers of America (CWA), in what they call “the first wall-to-wall union at a Microsoft game studio”.
According to Sky News, 8,000 video game employees lost their jobs between January and March in the UK alone.
The union was voted on by 241 "artists, engineers, programmers and designers” across three offices, the CWA said, a first of its kind for a Microsoft-owned studio.
“We are so excited to announce our union at Bethesda Game Studio and join the movement sweeping across the video game industry,” Mandi Parker, a senior system designer at Bethesda, said in a statement.
“It is clear that every worker can benefit from bringing democracy into the workplace and securing a protected voice on the job,” Parker added.
