The United Videogame Workers-CWA (UVW-CWA) is a new industry-wide union operating in North America. Organizers will be on hand at GDC to pass out pamphlets and answer questions.
If you’re in a union already, that is not something that can generally be asked about by management, both at hiring or during your employment. Being in a union is not the same as being in a unionized workplace.
When employees of a store/factory/etc decide to unionize, there’s a point at which a specific larger union can be chosen to represent them (AFL-CIO, IBEW, Teamsters, etc). If successful, this is what allows for collective bargaining led by a union representative.
