Ubisoft Workers of Montreal Union petition to “preserve hybrid work” secures over 300 signatures
Workers at Ubisoft Montreal’s Game Workers Unite Montreal union have launched a petition to “preserve hybrid work,” securing over 300 signatures since the campaign began on September 30. The petition represents an organized effort by employees to maintain remote work arrangements at the studio.
The initiative has garnered support from the broader United Videogame Workers Union, which publicly endorsed the campaign, stating that Ubisoft Montreal workers “are leading the change in our collective struggle for dignified work and economic justice.” This reflects a wider movement within the gaming industry around labor conditions and workplace flexibility.
The union is actively organizing support, encouraging all Ubisoft Montreal employees to sign the petition and urging supporters to reach out to their networks. Part of the campaign strategy involves workers meeting with colleagues during break hours to discuss and promote the petition.
The petition emerges amid ongoing industry discussions about post-pandemic work arrangements. Remote and hybrid work policies have become a focal point for worker organizing in the games industry, with various unions advocating for employee choice in work location arrangements.
