Bethesda Game Studios union workers will hold marches on July 15 to protest recent mass layoffs at Xbox that eliminated 440 union positions.

OneBGS, the union representing staff behind Fallout, Starfield, and The Elder Scrolls, announced plans for rallies outside four studio locations. The marches are set for July 15 at 12:30 p.m. Eastern Time in Montreal, Rockville, Maryland, Austin, Texas, and Dallas, Texas.

In a statement, the OneBGS organizing committee said the company wants workers to accept the cuts as a done deal and quietly disappear. The group added that members will mobilize to ensure management properly supports laid-off colleagues and avoids similar actions in the future.

The layoffs hit Bethesda and ZeniMax earlier this week as part of broader Xbox restructuring. Union members have also set up memorials for affected colleagues that were later removed by HR.
