Ubisoft Workers Set to Strike

Ubisoft's France-based employees are set to strike for three days next month in response to the company's return-to-office policy, which requires staff to work in the office at least three days per week. The strike, organized by the French game workers union STJV (Syndicat des Travailleurs et Travailleuses du Jeu Vidéo), will take place from October 15 to 17, 2024.

The union claims the policy was implemented "without any tangible justification or any consultation with the workers' representatives." STJV stated, "After more than five years of working efficiently in the current remote-work context, many of our colleagues have built or rebuilt their lives... and simply cannot return to the previous working conditions."

The union warned that the decision could lead to job losses, project disorganization, and increased psychosocial risks for remaining employees. The call for the strike follows failed negotiations over profit sharing and salary adjustments, where management's proposals were deemed "unacceptable."

STJV is demanding a formal agreement on remote work and an immediate salary increase to address the decline in living standards in recent years. Ubisoft declined to comment when approached by GamesIndustry.biz.
