Reply to comment by Initial-Resident3535 in Activision's Boston studio workers announce unionization by No-Drawing-6975

Illegal retaliation at worst, violation of the WARN Act at the least. The game industry tends to make significantly less than "normal" software engineering positions, but you can still bet that people making $60-80k can take legal action better than fast food workers or whatever. Many of them may even have legal insurance or lawyers on retainer.

They'll just move to a right to work state. Unions do nothing but take dues and make companies go across the pond

Unions need to lobby for tariffs against countries with lower labor costs if they will ever have any real power in this country ever again

Except. Yknow, in places where companies can't just go elsewhere to work.

Tech company? Sure. Some sort of skilled labor company? That's hard rooted in said state? Not so much
