More Perfect Union @moreperfectunion.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
HUGE: Autozone workers just won the first ever union at the company. Despite Autozone spending an estimated $210,696 and using every tactic in the book to stop just 11 workers from forming a union, the small shop in New York chose to unionize today. These workers will now join the @uaw.org.

Through the grapevine of the very small game industry, I heard that originally people who got interviewed were told Bulkhead was a 4 day workweek studio. So I checked the wayback machine, and yeah. They used to advertise a 4 day workweek: web.archive.org/web/20250408... I wonder what happened.
