"The wall-to-wall organizing effort at id Software was much needed; it's incredibly important that developers across the industry unite to push back on all the unilateral workplace changes that are being handed down from industry executives. The union is a way for us, the developers, to take back control of the industry we love and to ensure that it delivers high-quality products from high-quality workers who have health benefits and longevity beyond quarterly profits."
"more unions means more power to the workers and a real shot at shaping the future of the industry for the better."
"Remote work "isn't a perk," but rather a "necessity for our health, our families, and our access needs." It's one of the main pillars for the union: better benefits, remote work opportunities, and AI protections. For all three, the union will make sure that "everyone has a voice in the things that matter most to [id Software].""
id Software's 165-person staff formed a wall-to-wall union affiliated with Communications Workers of America (CWA) Local 6215 in Richardson, Texas. The union aims to protect employees from AI-driven workplace changes and to negotiate benefits including remote work, health coverage, and job longevity beyond quarterly profits. Organizers presented the union as a response to unilateral workplace changes from executives and a way to strengthen worker influence and product quality. Remote work is framed as a necessity for health, family, and access needs. The union prioritizes giving employees a voice on AI protections, benefits, and remote work policies. Microsoft appears to have recognized the union.
