Sega of America workers successfully vote to form a union

Sega of America workers have formally voted to unionise, under the name the Allied Employees Guild Improving Sega (AEGIS-CWA), after announcing plans to do so earlier this year.

A “supermajority” of 144 employees spread across marketing, localisation, product development, and quality assurance at Sega of America revealed its intention to unionise back in April, with the aim of securing higher base pay, improving benefits, and more.

At the time, the group confirmed it had contacted the National Labor Relations Board in order to file for an election, to which Sega management were said to be “investigating and considering the options available”. That election has now taken place, with 91 employees voting yes and 26 voting no out of 200+ eligible employees.
