Bethesda Montreal has submitted a filing for unionization

Bethesda Game Studios Montreal has initiated the process to unionize under the Communications Workers of America.

Yesterday, the BGS Montreal union revealed through a social media post that they have applied for certification with the Quebec Labour Board.

"As a union, we will strive to make BGS a supportive workplace that fosters creativity and talent," the statement read. "This will allow us to keep creating some of the best video games in the industry in the jobs and studios we all love.

"Having a seat at the table will ensure job security as well as improve transparency, accountability, flexibility, and more. We aim to make sure everyone receives fair compensation for their work and the value they provide."

BGS Montreal follows in the footsteps of another ZeniMax studio. In January 2023, ZeniMax QA workers successfully formed ZeniMax Workers United, with a significant majority of 300 staff members across ZeniMax's US operations voting in favor of unionization.

Recently, the CWA confirmed that all ZeniMax studio employees are included under Microsoft's labor neutrality agreement. This pact, reached in 2022, requires Microsoft to remain neutral during unionization efforts.
