36 people have died at ICE's hands in the past year

may of these deaths did not happen on camera, but it does not make them any less horrifying and unacceptable

this is a list of their names, where they lived before being abducted, and a link to crowdfunding if i can find it

We, the workers at Bethesda Games Studios, express our solidarity and support for the developers at Rockstar Games. Last month’s firings in the UK and Canada were a clear and disgusting case of union busting.

Three of the union-busted Rockstar employees were in Canada. If anyone knows them could you please put me in contact? Fellow union organizer (at Bethesda in my case) would love to chat and pick their brains and offer support. #rockstar #union #gtavi

NEW: Multiple employees at ZeniMax, including two union members, have accused Microsoft of once again failing workers with its latest round of layoffs.

Sources described the way the company handled the cuts as "inhumane" and claimed work will be hampered after the loss of key talent.

Art can't just be a luxury for the few. That requires a city where artists can actually afford to live and create, and where musicians don't just receive recognition but fair pay.

That's what @local802.bsky.social organizes for and I'm so proud to have their endorsement.

Devs shouldn't need unions to be treated with respect by their employers, but hey 🤷🏻‍♂️

Note that the cancelled MMORPG had employees in Canada who had not yet formed their own union local. They were laid off IMMEDIATELY, no chance to bargain.

This clearly shows the power of unionizing! Organize!
On July 2nd, Microsoft announced they were shelving an unannounced project at ZOS, a shock to over 200 of our devs working on the project.

However, despite discussions regarding the status of our employment, the fact is: we have not yet been laid off.

Our full statement can be found below.

Xbox laid off 9000 people last week, including DevQA from Bethesda Games Studios. Many more were cut from Zenimax QA proper.

At Zenimax Online Studios many are now without a project & in "decisional bargaining" to see what happens next.

We’re here to share our grief & support for our friends 🤍
