Last week, our CWA Canada union siblings shared leaflets and delivered letters outside Rockstar Games Toronto with other community members and union allies to demand that the studio reinstates the illegally-terminated workers after they attempted to organize. All eyes on Rockstar!

Read our full statement below.

Yesterday, Microsoft announced that they intend to lay off about 9,000 employees across the company, including from its Microsoft Gaming division, and to stop production on several games. The layoffs are expected to impact Communications Workers of America-represented employees at the company.

“We are deeply disappointed in Microsoft’s decision to lay off thousands more workers, including union-represented CWA members, at a time when the company is prospering,” said Communications Workers of America President Claude Cummings Jr. “We will be bargaining with the company over these layoffs, and CWA District Vice Presidents Mike Davis and Derrick Osobase will remain directly involved in ensuring that our members are supported and treated with dignity throughout this process.”

Workers in the video game industry have been under constant threat of layoffs, with Electronic Arts, Sony Interactive Entertainment, Unity Technologies, and countless others scaling back their workforces in recent months. These layoffs are often announced without warning, leaving workers who create the products responsible for the companies’ successes scrambling to survive while executives and investors reap the benefits of record-breaking profits.

“Right now, we are living through a moment of profound corporate consolidation and disruption,” Cummings said. “In times like these, union organizing is not just a tool for protections in the workplace; it is essential to workers’ survival, and one of the strongest defenses we have against unchecked corporate power. This news will not slow the movement for a video game industry that works for those who make it what it is today. Our strength is in our unity.”
