Bethesda Game Studios Forms Historic Industry-Wide Union

Nearly 250 developers across multiple disciplines join Communications Workers of America, marking a significant shift in the video game industry's labor landscape.

Microsoft has recognized the union, which includes artists, designers, programmers, and engineers.
This is the first major U.S. game studio to unionize across all departments.
The unionization was facilitated by a neutrality agreement between Microsoft and the CWA.
Union members will now begin negotiating their first contract.
The move is part of a broader trend of unionization within the gaming industry.
