Workers at gaming company Ubisoft Halifax file to unionize
The logo of French video game publisher Ubisoft is pictured at the Paris games week in Paris, Nov. 4, 2017. Dozens of video game workers with Ubisoft Halifax have filed to unionize, according to the Communications Workers of America (CWA) Canada. A majority of the nearly 60 staff workers at Ubisoft Halifax, which has an office on Barrington Street, filed with the Nova Scotia Labour Board on Wednesday, according to a news release from CWA. 'Unionizing with my coworkers at Ubisoft Halifax is important to me so that we have the strength needed to protect what we have today and to fight for our tomorrow,' said senior server programmer Thomas Gillis in the release. 'With no end in sight to the industry-wide turbulence that sees studios shutter on releasing games fans love, it is up to us, the workers, to organize and demand a say in our labour, art and future.' Following certification, the union will include producers, designers, programmers, artists, researchers and development testers. According to its website, the gaming studio was founded in 2010 and became Ubisoft Halifax in 2015. Some of its games include Rainbow Six Mobile and Assassin's Creed Rebellion. Ubisoft was founded in 1986 and is headquartered in France with studios around the world. For more Nova Scotia news, visit our dedicated provincial page
