Studios Union

The Bethesda Game Studios Union alleges that Xbox provided its Montreal workers with the minimum severance legally required without union negotiation, contradicting prior discussions about severance terms. The union has filed a legal complaint against Bethesda, claiming continued violations of Canadian labor laws.

Microsoft allegedly reneged on a pledge to negotiate severance with laid-off Bethesda Montreal developers, instead offering the minimum legal payout without union bargaining, according to the Bethesda Game Studios union. The union claims the company also terminated workers' health benefits and has filed a complaint, urging the public to send feedback to Microsoft.
