Yesterday we were able to join in the NYC Labor Day Rally and stand in solidarity with our organizing community. These days can feel uncertain and difficult given the labor environment we’re in, but it’s bolstering to remember that we can handle whatever is thrown our way, and that we’re never alone

blizzard workers had to fight tooth and nail for years, but they finally did it: they secured a union contract not just for one team, but for all unionized units--warcraft, overwatch, diablo, and more
“We really started mobilizing as one Blizzard unit in [the] last couple of months, and I think that really helped put the pressure on,” Paul Cox, senior game designer on World of Warcraft, told Aftermath.
"I feel like the company dragged its feet and did a lot of posturing and wasting time until the very, very last moment."
Prior to spring of this year, the WoW team, which unionized in 2024, had gotten the lion's share of bargaining time. Other units found themselves stuck in the mud. Higher-ups were effectively stalling the whole process—unfortunately nothing new for unionized workers under Microsoft’s umbrella.
"For this whole year of bargaining on the Diablo side—and I imagine on the rest of the units as well—we received so few [bargaining] dates, but we kind of had the understanding that whatever WoW was able to win would at least influence and set the floor for the rest of our units,” Diablo senior environment artist Mahreen Fatima told Aftermath. “We adopted this messaging about how WoW's wins are our wins, so we should be out there mobilizing with them. But truly, I feel like the company dragged its feet and did a lot of posturing and wasting time until the very, very last moment this last month to finally be able to say, 'OK, yes, we are willing to extend this contract to everyone.' We really did not have any indication that we could get this done until last month."

We agree with New York Times Publisher A.G. Sulzberger - the work we create at The New York Times is uniquely human, and needs to be protected! That’s why we’re taking legal action against The Times to be more transparent about how AI is being applied so we can protect our members.

Engineers being expected to do on-call shifts for no additional compensation is one of the clearest arguments for “just because you’re highly-paid doesn’t mean you don’t need a union”

Many of our members are “always on-call,” and can be paged day or night, year-round, for technical emergencies. Despite this, management argued that they did not qualify for the on-call pay protected by our contract.

Our CEO recently shared that working remotely allows her to care for her 85-year-old mother. But for our coworker and fellow unit member, Rich, that’s not an option. Despite being the primary caretaker for his father, his remote accommodations have been abruptly rejected. His appeal? Denied.

AFL-CIO Mourns Killing of Minneapolis Union Member, Reiterates Calls for ICE to Leave Minnesota:

The AFL-CIO mourns the senseless killing of another Minneapolis resident by federal agents. Alex Jeffrey Pretti was a VA intensive care unit nurse and a member of AFGE Local 3669—a brother in our union family. Our thoughts are with Alex’s loved ones, his union siblings, and the people of Minneapolis at this devastating time. 

As tens of thousands of Minnesotans made clear peacefully and powerfully yesterday, the Trump administration’s horrific operation—and their actions aimed at stoking violence and chaos—must end. America’s unions join the call for ICE to immediately leave Minnesota before anyone else is hurt or killed. We demand local authorities conduct a full, transparent investigation that will lead to accountability for this tragic and violent act, and for Congress to use its power to hold ICE accountable.
