Ubisoft unions push four-day strike over anti-remote-work and layoffs
TL;DR Summary
Ubisoft unions representing several groups have called for a four-day international strike (Feb 10–12) in protest of the company’s restructuring, which includes game cancellations, delays, a shift back to full-time in-office work, and layoffs aimed at saving €200 million. The unions say there was little dialogue with management and point to a voluntary redundancy program, arguing staff autonomy is essential—‘without us, Ubisoft would never have conquered and transformed video games.’
