In collaboration with the Communications Workers of America (CWA) and UNI Global Union\, the event will bring together representatives from various unionization efforts to share what organizing among game developers looks like around the world. \nThe panel will include Ilyasah Ellison from ZeniMax\, Pierre-Étienne Marx and Antoine B from STJV\, and Sarah Elmaleh from SAG-AFTRA. Erin Mahoney from CWA and I will serve as co-moderators. The panel will last one hour\, followed by a one hour organizer training facilitated by CWA (focused on organizing in North America) and UNI Global Union (focused on globally applicable organizing principles). \nYou may register for the event here.
