TCGUnion-CWA members hit the bargaining table |
After months of delays and union-busting tactics from the company, TCGUnion-CWA members are officially bargaining for their first union contract! TCGUnion-CWA is bargaining for fairness, dignity, job security and a seat at the table. Employees haven’t received a raise in 2 years, and many live paycheck to paycheck. “We love our jobs. We need them to be stable so our lives can be stable,”TCGUnion-CWA posted on Twitter.“We will continue to holdEbay and Littler to their obligation to bargain in good faith on the issues that matter most to us.” As members of TCGUnion-CWA bargain for stronger workplace protections and better benefits, we should all stand in solidarity with their fight. All workers deserve a voice at work, and have a right to organize and bargain for improvements on the job. Are you interested in getting involved in the growing movement of digital, tech and game workers joining together to fight for a voice at work? Get involved with CODE-CWA! |

Today, the United Auto Workers union officially went on strike against General Motors, Ford and Stellantis, marking the first time in the union’s history that it has struck all three of America’s unionized automakers at once. Early this morning, workers walked out of three plants – one each from the Big Three – in Missouri, Michigan and Ohio. Picketers were met with wide support and cheers from union and community members. The strike comes after the automakers scoffed at UAW’s demands for increased wages, benefits and job protections for members. With all three automakers reporting record or near-record profits, the union is seeking to recapture many benefits they had been forced to give up for more than a decade. Read more on CNN |
