Wizards Of The Coast Begs Staff To Think Twice Before Voting To Unionize

Wizards of the Coast sent letters to Magic: The Gathering Arena staff after developers filed a union petition, urging them to reconsider organizing.

Workers and union supporters say the company is running a union-avoidance campaign, using language they view as anti-union without making direct legal threats.

The organizing drive says about 75% of coworkers back the effort and is focused on stronger job security, remote-work, and AI protections.

The dispute highlights growing tension between major game publishers and labor organizing, with broader implications for workplace rights in games.
