      When you go in strike lenin shotgun

      But only for one day, rather than holding out until you get your demands, so the next day the boss just tells you to do double the work or your fired. (you’re no longer protected by the very few strike breaking laws as the strike is over)

      lenin facepalm

          Regrettably probably giving Bethesda et al more incentive to outsource asap. Film, tv, games, just like every commodity, it’s a race to the bottom for costs, and no matter how many tax incentives are handed out, they can never make it cheaper than other countries.

          Similarly ironically, the fight for remote work does the same thing. Whether for health or comfort, it seems like just proving that they don’t need to spend money on American office space or American workers

    With the recent huge amounts of layoffs, video game crunch stories, and popularization of how tech is going downhill as a good career path, I wonder if it will start making progress towards unionization finally.

      I hope so, for the longest time tech workers seemed to see themselves as being too good for unions. Now that the exploitation is starting to become really blatant, maybe that attitude will start changing. I’m encourage by some high profile unionization like we saw with Kickstarter.
