It was a pleasure to have Chris at our AGM. I love how he frames the state of the games industry as an outrageous power imbalance and that he sees unionising as the best and only way to fix it.
Regardless of ideology, if you're an employee at the games industry, you're in a class struggle and the best way to defend and improve your livelihood is through collective action.
Must watch!

This is how trade unions do democracy: we share and learn about our collective power, discuss and vote motions, elect the Committee, and have a jolly good time together!
This year's AGM of the Game Workers is on June 8th, 1 to 3 pm in several locations.
Register here! :ablobfoxbongo:

So proud of this flyer we made at Game Workers for the Guildford Games Festival. Folks didn't know about the union, but were very happy to learn more :blobfoxhappy:
Also... the headlines on the left show how bad this industry can be, and on the right, how workers are taking collective action. That dynamic is so hard on us! We must unionise to prevent the abuse, not just react to it after the damage is done.

As a member of GWUI, my fellow members and I call on the Government to legislate for better recognition of Unions by employers in the Game Industry leading to better engagement with workers.

If you work in games in Ireland, listen to Michael D. Higgins and join Game Workers Unite Ireland. It’s time we brought more democracy into our workplaces. https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/news/president-michael-d-higgins-encourages-all-workers-to-join-a-trade-union-42153823.html
Our parent union, FSU, also organises with animation workers and tech workers even though they started as a banking workers union. So if you work in any of those industries join us! #union #tradeunion #gameworkers #labourorganising #labororganizing #mastodaoine #irishtwitter
