Wizards of the Coast uppmanar personalen att ompröva fackliga planer

Wizards of the Coast har skickat brev till utvecklarna av Magic: The Gathering Arena där de uppmuntrar dem att tänka efter en extra gång innan de bildar en fackförening. Åtgärden kommer efter en namninsamling som lämnades in av utvecklarna förra månaden. Företagets vd John Hight tros ha författat meddelandet.

Brevet belyser oron för en potentiell förändring i relationen mellan personalen och ledningen på företaget. Det refererar till fackföreningen som en tredje part och betonar värdet av att bibehålla direkt kommunikation med ledningen. Anställda har delat utdrag på Bluesky, där de noterar antydningar om att facklig representation skulle kunna leda till försämrade förmåner eller löner jämfört med nuvarande upplägg.
