The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has confirmed that Magic: The Gathering Arena Workers have won their Union Election to join the Communications Workers of America (CWA) in a landslide victory. Under the banner of United Wizards of the Coast-CWA (UWOTC-CWA), workers first filed for a vote in April and requested management voluntarily recognize them. Members have cited concerns around lack of layoff protections, threats to remote work, generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) and heavy workloads as core motivators for organizing. “After months of planning, waiting and organizing, our dream is finally a reality. The votes have been counted and our Union of UWOTC-CWA has been officially elected,” the Union said in a social Media post. “From this day forward, we have a Union. ‘We stand on the shoulders of giants’ and we can only hope that our victory in turn inspires others to start Unionizing at their own workplaces. Change is possible when Workers stand together!”
