United Videogame Workers-CWA

The enclosure of Yerba Buena Gardens at GDC didn’t stop us from leading a march to discuss our Game Workers’ Bill of Rights earlier this week — our way to fight for standardization across video game studios and employers that empower workers instead of breaking them down.

some people & big companies act like it’s impossible not to use generative ai. what happened to hiring real talent???? real actors, real artists/illustrators, real photographers, etc. or at least, if you need a cheaper option, buy stock videos, photos, illustrations (non AI ones)

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, is proud to announce the #GameWorkersConference. May 22-23 ❤️‍🔥

2026 is already bringing about studio closures and corporate decisions without worker input. Now is the time to build a better future. As tech and video game workers, organizing is how we fight back. Learn how @ one of our organizer trainings this month ⤵️ code-cwa.org/upcoming-train…

around 40 game developers affiliated with @vgworkers have gathered outside the peacock theater, where the game awards will take place in a few hours, for a “the industry is dead” demonstration

We are gathering at Peacock Theater at 2PM PT today to celebrate the life of a once vibrant game industry, killed far too soon by greedy bosses. Wear your mourning fit, and join us for a candlelight vigil in front of The Game Awards.

TLDR: tech workers, get organized! The Alphabet Workers Union has issued a statement in response to Amazon’s announcement that it will lay off 14,000 corporate workers: “Now is the time for us to stand together collectively, so we have power and a real voice in our industry.”

Kickstarter United has voted to STRIKE! We are fighting for a 32 hour work week, livable wage for all workers, and protections against AI. Our Seattle members are organizing a rally alongside OPEIU 8. Join us on Thursday in Cal Anderson Park! forms.gle/udwphKvnZDVGaa…

UVW-CWA will be at the Queerness and Games Conference this weekend! ✊🌈 This Saturday, our worker-organizers will be running the workshop "Queer Organizing 101: Building Skills to Make Change as Marginalized Game Workers." We hope to see you there! #QGCon

We strongly oppose the Trump admin’s proclamation issued Friday, which bars re-entry of certain H-1B workers and adds a $100,000 fee on applicants. These sweeping changes will reshape the H-1B program and deeply impact many Googlers.

Bosses rely on fear and uncertainty to keep us divided, passive, and scared. How many more of these cycles are you going to take before they realize that this careless treatment of human lives is unsustainable?

As recent waves of layoffs impact our fellow workers and union members, we see again and again how little the word of your boss means when it is not backed up by a union contract or challenged with collective action.

Interested in joining up with your fellow workers? If you live in the United States or Canada, you can sign up for UVW, read our mission statement/FAQs, and sign our petition on our website: uvw-cwa.org/membership

Can we interest you in being radicalized rather than leading you into despair

📣 TOMORROW 🔥 While all of the execs are at at Gamescom this week spending the game budget on brainstorming ways to cut jobs, you can come to our town hall about building the Game Workers' Bill of Rights! Have your voice be heard!
