Los desarrolladores de Double Fine presentan una petición para formar un sindicato en Microsoft

Los trabajadores del estudio de videojuegos Double Fine, propiedad de Microsoft, presentaron una petición ante la Junta Nacional de Relaciones Laborales el 7 de mayo para formar un sindicato. El grupo de 42 empleados regulares y a tiempo parcial busca tanto una elección como el reconocimiento voluntario por parte de la empresa. La iniciativa cuenta con el respaldo de Communications Workers of America.

El anuncio se produjo poco después del lanzamiento del último juego del estudio, Kiln, que debutó en Game Pass. Double Fine es conocido por títulos como Psychonauts y fue adquirido por Microsoft en 2018. La petición marca el primer esfuerzo de sindicalización en un estudio independiente de Xbox bajo la nueva directora ejecutiva, Asha Sharma.
