700 Ubisoft staff in France hold strikes in response to worldwide return to office mandate from Assassin’s Creed publisher
Back in September, open world publisher Ubisoft put out a 3-days-weekly return to office mandate for their entire staff worldwide – a decision that French Video Game Workers Union (STJV) said was “made without any tangible justification or any consultation with the workers’ representatives”. In response, the STJV called on staff in France to hold a three-day strike beginning yesterday, which the union reports to be underway with the participation of more than 700 workers, via Le Monde.
“This decision is announced immediately after the failure of the profit-sharing negotiations,” STJV wrote at the time. “Exactly like previous salary negociations: management’s proposals were inacceptable, the negotiations’ timetable was appalling, and management was deaf to the proposals of the various Employee representatives.”
