This year, like previous years, we'll be picketing to represent the workers left behind by the industry, and to raise awareness of the rotten ways it chews us up and spits us out. We'll be joined by our allies from across the LA labor movement, and we hope that includes you!

WE WON!

We just won our union election 91-26.

Our 200+ member union is now the LARGEST multi-department union of organized workers in the ENTIRE gaming industry.

So excited to celebrate this win & head to the bargaining table w/ @SEGA to continue building this company we love!

[Tender Claws Human Union @tchumanunion]

Yes! We stand in solidarity with our claw-mates, the striking workers of the WGA! 🦀🦞✊

And thank you to the IATSE & TAG Young Workers who gave us the solidarity paint job earlier this month so that we can proudly show our support!
