Wizards of the Coast drängt Mitarbeiter dazu, Gewerkschaftspläne zu überdenken

Wizards of the Coast hat Briefe an die Entwickler von Magic: The Gathering Arena geschickt, in denen diese dazu ermutigt werden, ihre Pläne zur Gründung einer Gewerkschaft noch einmal zu überdenken. Dieser Schritt erfolgt nach einer Petition, die die Entwickler im vergangenen Monat eingereicht hatten. Es wird davon ausgegangen, dass der Präsident des Unternehmens, John Hight, das Schreiben verfasst hat.

Das Schreiben hebt Bedenken hinsichtlich einer möglichen Veränderung in der Beziehung zwischen der Belegschaft und der Unternehmensführung hervor. Es bezeichnet die Gewerkschaft als externe Partei und betont den Wert einer direkten Kommunikation mit dem Management. Mitarbeiter teilten Auszüge auf Bluesky und wiesen darauf hin, dass die gewerkschaftliche Vertretung im Vergleich zu den derzeitigen Regelungen zu geringeren Leistungen oder Löhnen führen könnte.
