The video game world wants in on the labor movement: Sega makes history as it ratifies new union con


Gaming developers at Sega of America appear to have leveled up. This past Tuesday, the union members in the North American section of the company made history when ratifying their contract. It’s one small step for gamers, one giant leap for tech kind —as the Sega union became the nation’s first major video game company to get a signed union contract. Known as the Communications Workers of America (CWA) at SEGA of America, or AEGIS-CWA, the union comprises 150 full and temporary workers across a range of titles and departments. It’s all a sign that the current labor movement is quickly gaining speed (not unlike Sega’s famous Sonic the Hedgehog). Along with Sega, video game developer Activision Publishing, this month voted to unionize, becoming the biggest video game union in the nation. The owner of Activision, Microsoft, recognized said the union and the workers will now begin bargaining a contract.
