In united labour news ...
The developers for a video game based on Magic: The Gathering announced on Tuesday that theyâve successfully unionized, following a petition filed with the US National Labor Relations Board.
United Wizards of the Coast, in partnership with the Communications Workers of America, represents the team that develops Magic: The Gathering â Arena. Made in-house at Wizards of the Coast in Renton, Wash., Arena is an online adaptation of the long-running collectible card game.
UWOTC previously announced on June 2 that it had begun the official NLRB election for recognition of its union, with in-person voting beginning on that day. Now that the union has been officially elected via the NLRB, its next step is to seek a ratified contract.
[...]
The unionâs stated goals include seeking layoff protections; addressing Hasbroâs mandates of required AI usage; dealing with pay discrepancies; keeping the option to work remotely after Hasbro issued a return-to-office mandate; clarifications about workersâ side projects; and transparency regarding career progression and pay scales.
[...]
UWOTC previously announced its union efforts in late April, which were originally spurred by the surprise wave of Hasbro layoffs that impacted Wizards in Dec. 2023, despite Wizards as a whole having one of its most successful years on record. (2023 was, after all, the year that Baldurâs Gate III came out.)
The new union initially sought voluntary recognition from Wizards with a May 1 deadline, but Wizards didnât issue a direct response. Instead, in late May, several Arena team members reported that Wizards had sent them multiple anti-union messages. Other sources noted that Wizards had allegedly hired a legal team that has a reputation for counteracting unionization efforts, which is suggestive.
[...]
Itâs worth noting that many of the issues that UWOTC was formed to deal with are traditional, endemic issues in the video game industry, particularly in the higher-end, âAAAâ sector. The last three years in gaming have been punctuated by studio closures, waves of layoffs, allegations of toxic âcrunch culture,â and executive mismanagement, despite the industry itself being bigger and more popular than ever.

The increasing tendency imposed by governments to upload sensitive documents to prove you are who you are over the internet opens the doors for instances like this to occur. The fact that there were no hackers involved with the leak but rather a company who was supposed to.be trusted to keep these documents secure, just didn't care enough about the data they were handling so it was just easily available information for months. What a joke.

It started with Prairieland, and now its going to be these MN 15, which involved zero guns. They are declaring war on anyone that opposes Trump, and now even your posts on the internet are going to be enough to catch a prison sentence in the US. Unless we collectively organize to oppose this fascist power structure, democrats will become the next antifa to criminalize. Anyone that goes against Trumps will basically.
More bricks; less cops.

Everyone knew it was going to be brutal, given the full-press media lynching, the kangaroo trial, and the gestapo judges' undisguised contempt for the defendants. But even so... these sentences are still incredibly shocking and heartbreaking. Fuck this and Fuck ICE.
