Sega of America Accused of Unfair Labor Practices by Union

The AEGIS-CWA union alleges Sega threatened mass layoffs of temporary workers, violating bargaining rules.

Sega of America, the video game company behind Sonic the Hedgehog, is facing allegations of unfair labor practices by its recently formed AEGIS-CWA union.
The union alleges that Sega threatened mass layoffs of temporary workers, a move that would affect about 80 union jobs, or roughly 40% of the union's membership.
The layoffs are part of a plan to offshore jobs to Sega's offices in Japan and Europe by February 2024.
The union argues that Sega's actions potentially violate bargaining rules, which require the company to discuss any such changes with the union before making an announcement.
The AEGIS-CWA union has filed an Unfair Labor Practice charge and is calling on Sega to make all temporary employees permanent and return to the bargaining table in good faith.
