United Videogame Workers Union Launches in Partnership With Communication Workers of America
An industry-wide video game workers union launched Wednesday in partnership with Communications Workers of America (CWA).
A direct-join union, United Videogame Workers-CWA Local 9433 was announced during the 2025 Game Developer Conference (GDC) in San Francisco. The formation of the union comes on the heels of two years of heavy layoffs and contraction across the video game industry and as concerns rise about generative AI’s longterm impact on the sector. “The creation of this union was not done in isolation; it’s a cumulative effort by the thousands of video game workers who have been fighting for years to redefine what it means to stand together and reclaim power in one of the largest and highest-grossing industries on the globe,” CWA’s senior director of organizing Tom Smith said.
