Anställda på Double Fine röstar för att gå med i fackförbundet CWA

Anställda på Double Fine Productions har röstat för att bilda en fackförening tillsammans med Communications Workers of America. De 42 heltids- och deltidsanställda följer därmed liknande fackliga initiativ vid andra Microsoft-studior.

Double Fine, studion bakom Psychonauts-serien, ansökte om att organisera sig fackligt i slutet av förra veckan. Den 7 maj meddelade de anställda sitt beslut att gå med i CWA för att bevara åtaganden kring kreativ excellens, mångfald och inkludering samt de anställdas livskvalitet, uppgav fackförbundet för Aftermath. Detta sker efter att studion skickat in en begäran till National Labor Relations Board om att få hålla ett val och erhålla frivilligt erkännande.
