As ever, thanks for the link dmf! I met Alex at an event in Bradford many years back, although I doubt she remembers me. ;)

Hi dmf,
Thanks for the link! I wouldn't have quite expected Time to take an interest in this, but fair enough!
On the one hand, workers in videogames have terrible conditions and the argument for unionising is strong. On the other, I find unions tend to devolve complicated situations into fights about money, which I always find disappointing. But I don't see how the current quagmire in employee relations in game could be resolved without some kind of battle at this point.
All the best!
Chris.
