Unions in Gaming: The Past, Present, and Future
Video game workers are beginning to unionize, but the path has been slow and rocky so far. Some studios that organized years ago have still not reached contracts, while others have run into management resistance and even internal strife.

Join Bloomberg's Jason Schreier for a candid one-on-one conversation with Thomas Smith, Senior Director for Organizing at the Communications Workers of America, about the ups and downs of unionizing the video game industry. They'll discuss how the union effort has been going over the last half-decade, the wins (and losses) that workers have seen along the way, and what comes next for a battered workforce.
