Announcing United Wizards of the Coast - CWA!

Today is an exciting day in the history of Magic: The Gathering Arena! We, the workers of the Arena team have come together to unionize as United Wizards of the Coast - CWA. Last week, a supermajority of eligible Arena workers signed union cards to pledge their support. Earlier this morning, we informed WOTC leadership of our intent to unionize, and called on the company to voluntarily recognize our union: https://unitedwizardsofthecoast.com/letterSo, what’s next? We’ve shown that we have overwhelming support from the Arena team and believe that the Magic community will be enthusiastic about this announcement. We hope that leadership will choose to engage with our efforts in good faith and voluntarily recognize our union. From there, we’ll begin our collective bargaining for better treatment and working conditions for the people behind Arena.This is a massive moment for the Arena team, and we’re thrilled to embark on this journey with you all. Our demands aim to preserve our rights and wellbeing as workers. This is a step forward not just for the Arena team, but the gaming industry as a whole. We’re demonstrating that a phenomenal team of game makers can come together to create something truly magical.We are building the game industry we want to see in the world, and we hope you will work with us.
