What’s disgusting ?
Union busting !“Next year, Grand Theft Auto VI is expected to make upwards of $10 billion. That’s enough to end world hunger for a year. Such a flagrant attack on workers' rights from such a valuable studio sends a very clear and shocking message to the world, that money matters more than people."

There has been a LOT of human job losses due to #AI in the #GameDevelopment industry. Good to see folks taking a stand!
Pay rises, AI regulation, and layoff protection: what #ActivisionBlizzard's newly unionised employees want from #Microsoft
A big development.

Excerpt: "[Scott Alsworth from the #UK's #IWGB Union] credits the increase in #unionisation efforts to several factors: #TechnologicalDisplacement (especially poignant with the push for #AI), a greater number of #WorkingClass people joining the video game industry who bring a greater awareness of unionisation, and a response to the state of the industry as a whole."

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.

RSA Found to have Wrongly Fired Staffer for Union Organising
https://bylinetimes.com/2023/11/07/rsa-found-to-have-wrongly-fired-staffer-for-union-organising/
"In 2019, the Royal Society of the Arts awarded the IWGB trade union with a Future of Work Award for making “an impact where traditional unions have struggled” by “placing decision-making power directly in the hands of workers”.
But just four years later, when RSA employees tried to form a branch with that same union, a bitter fight with management ensued".

As a side project, I'm also interested in #scifibooks and have written some things for #redfutures
