AEGIS-CWA #UnionizeSEGA
@takesAEGISWE WON!
We just won our union election 91-26.
Our 200+ member union is now the LARGEST multi-department union of organized workers in the ENTIRE gaming industry.
So excited to celebrate this win & head to the bargaining table w/ @SEGA to continue building this company we love!
Congratulations to them, now for the rest of the video game industry!
It is so sorely needed. I feel for my friends that went that route. Big W for Sega employees.
Hell yeah.
Now watch as Sega suddenly discovers a ‘business need’ to outsource to an independent game studio, I don’t know, ‘Robotnik’s Ruinous Rules,’ perhaps, with absolutely no relation to the unionization. Whatsoever.
LET’S FUCKIN GO
117 votes and it affects over 200 people?
What fucking losers not stepping up and voting?!
50% of them like: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah it’s kinda unimaginable to me as well but this seems about the same as other union elections I’ve been close to. Still a better turnout than most US government elections. It’s probably good to note that some union-busting tactics are meant to decrease turnout or create fear that there might be negative repercussions for voting at all. This was a factor in the Amazon unionization drives that failed last year.
Yay
Happy for them!
Super cool to AEGIS, but their struggles are just beginning. Here’s hoping they prevail in making their workplace better.
