The Communications Workers of America has announced the founding of the United Videogame Workers at the Game Developers Conference.
The mission of UVW-CWA is to build community and solidarity among video game workers and educate about labor organizing in the video game industry.
The UVW-CWA operates as a direct-join model, functioning like a voluntary trade group where resources are pooled for labor rights battles across the industry.
Despite the formation of developer unions, no U.S. game company has successfully bargained their first contract as of yet.
