Disco Elysium devs at ZA/UM form the UK industry’s “first recognised videogame workplace union”

Developers of the video game in Disco -electrics ZA/UM studio founded what they call the “first recognized trade union in the workplace in the Games in the UK”, acting as part of the Union of Independent Workers of Great Britain. This is another turn in the story of the once -built development studio, which is now very connected with toxic dismissals, alleged fraud and diasporaing enmityField

“The recognition process provides employees and management as a strong basis for the participation and conduct of negotiations on issues related to the workplace,” the trade union workers announce in Press releaseI gave it The developer of the gameThe field “Committee of Selected Representatives at the workplace will regularly meet in order to discuss issues put forward by the developers of the Games in ZA/UM and Management with the support of trade union officials.”

The press release is stunning [is] One of the central tricks of the trade union. ” He includes the thoughts of Yevgeny Peruzzo, an organizational employee of the IWGB Game Workers, who commented on that “the recognition agreements laid the basis for healthy relations between the company and employees and the overpass in the scale of the forces after several terrible years for the game industry and excess workers, which we can observe that it would be possible to invite that it seems that it seems that it seems that it seems that it seems that it seems that it seems that it seems that it seems that it seems that it seems that it was like that The workers who will be invited is that in accordance with the fact that in accordance with those that in accordance with those that the employees who will be invited are not quite again. This is not one, but this is an avalanche in the creation, ”she says.

Eat A much more complete article on the situation on gamesindustry.bizWhich includes an interview with the current president of ZA/UM and co -founder of the private unit Eda Tomashevsky. He notes negotiations on the management of the studio management with the new union, “when we talked about this, it became clear that the recognition of the Union is the main one for our values ​​as a studio to ensure fair working practice.”

In the play GI, Tomashevsky also repels some accusations or “characteristics” aligned in ZA/UM to some former employees. I believe that the former staff will take turns answering Tomashevsky.

ZA/UM lost many people who made a disco -elisi hit, but, according to the developer of the game, they now have “almost 100” people in books after the dismissal of a quarter of the studio and The abolition of the expansion of the disco At the beginning of last year. Their current project is zero parades, colorful espionage CRPG James Summified Like “discos with glasses and mustache”, adding that “it is not always clear whether the zero parades are inspired by the disco -elishium or admit it.”

Many of the departed employees of the disco -Elysium are currently working on spiritual successors of one or another kind. In the summer eternal, several former ZA/UM employees, including the writers of Argo Tuulik and Dora Klind and Zcaron; I & Cacute; make a red rooster, which was recently tease in the form of an anthology of a curious bookThe Longdu Games field makes Hoptown, The RPG psychogram, which NIC summed up as “Nathan Yachmen by bus”; Their disco-full-filled Trueblood includes the co-founder of ZA/UM Martina Luig, as well as the Piotor of Sobolevsky from outsourcing of the team of knights of unity. Dark mathematical games can boast of the former Disco Motion graphic designer Timo Albert and former producer and investor ZA/UM Kaur Kender; They do recently renamed Mandarin Antarcticawhich has a “dopamine buffet.”

I propose this resume to the next RPS employees to write about issues related to ZA/UM, in the fragile hope that by then the situation will be more complicated. Oh, God, I just remembered that we had not yet learned that the former disco writers Robert Curvits and artist Aleksander Rostov are making red information in their new clothing.
