Industry-wide union United Videogame Workers-CWA (UVW-CWA) has welcomed over 100 new members into its ranks within hours of breaking cover at GDC 2025.
Union organizer KB shared the milestone during a labor panel at the conference, prompting a cacophony of applause from attendees.
UVW-CWA was established by industry workers across the United States and Canada to “build worker power irrespective of studio and current job status.”
As a direct-join (or pre-majority) union, UVW-CWA enables workers—including freelancers and those who have been laid off—to organize without encountering hurdles that employers might lay down during the traditional union certification progress.
