Last year’s lawsuit against Activision Blizzard reminded the gaming community that the jobs of gaming developers aren’t always as dreamy as they may sound — it’s filled with crunch time and burnouts. So, naturally, gaming giants aren’t really pleased when they find out that unionization is taking place — Nintendo is allegedly the most recent among them. Nintendo is the latest video game developer to be hit with allegations of mistreating their employees. As reported by Polygon, the gaming giant, and its human resources partner, Aston Carter, fired several employees after they’d engaged in protected organizing activities. This might come as a surprise, considering that Nintendo did a really good job of avoiding any major controversies that are currently plaguing other gaming giants. However, that is no longer the case, as the company’s subsidiary, Nintendo of America, faces allegations of union-busting. An unnamed employee filed a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) alleging that Nintendo of America engaged in coercive actions to discourage workers from unionizing. The information about the complaint is still limited, but it apparently includes illegal surveillance, creating the impression of illegal surveillance, discharging employees that engaged in protected activities, and/or have joined or supported labor organizations.
