Today in Quebec, @cwacanada1 filed unfair labour practice charges against @BethesdaStudios & @Microsoft - Freedom of Association isn’t something to play with & neither are we! #OneBGSOneTable #UnBGSUneTable

650 individuals within the gaming division at Microsoft who work tirelessly to ship and support our multi-million dollar products just lost their jobs. That’s over 2500 people this year in Microsoft’s gaming subsidiaries alone. All of our union members survived another day.

Yay! Following lawyers meeting lawyers, our bargaining unit (which roles will fall under the scope of our union) has grown! Now almost everyone in Montreal, with the exception of senior management, HR and a few other roles, will be part of One BGS MTL ✊

Reminder that if you're a Quebec employee and part of a mass layoff that affects 10 workers or more, you're entitled to at least 8 weeks notice or equivalent pay. Don't sign anything agreeing to less! cnesst.gouv.qc.ca/en/working-con…
