The Game Workers branch of the Independent Workers of Great Britain (IWGB) union has issued an open letter to Labour MP and Minister for Digital and Culture, expressing strong disapproval over its exclusion from the newly formed UK Video Games Council. The union argues that their absence from this pivotal body undermines the representation of game workers in discussions that directly affect their rights and working conditions.
In the letter, the IWGB highlights the importance of including diverse voices in the gaming industry, particularly those of workers who face unique challenges and exploitation. The union asserts that without proper representation, the council risks making decisions that do not reflect the realities of the workforce, potentially perpetuating issues such as unpaid overtime and lack of job security.
The IWGB calls for immediate action to rectify this oversight, emphasizing that meaningful dialogue and collaboration are essential for the growth and sustainability of the UK video games sector. The union remains committed to advocating for the rights of game workers and ensuring their voices are heard in all relevant forums.
