Over 1,000 Ubisoft workers around the world have walked off the job.
In response to a return-to-office mandate, layoffs, and the cancellation of several games, workers launched a three-day strike.
The workers walked out in response to five French unions issuing the strike call.
Working together and speaking up in unison is how we get things done!

Congratulations to all of the amazing workers and organizers!

A typed response with a background of different shades of red and titled "The Canadian Animation Guild" The main text reads: "In a time of record low film & animation work being greenlit worldwide, the Canadian Animation Guild - IATSE Local 938 is deeply concerned about Walt Disney’s decision to invest $1 billion USD into OpenAI, and feeding its generative models with hundreds of hours’ worth of artists’ labour. The financial reality, and the unpopularity of OpenAI among artists and the public makes it clear: there is no pot of gold to be found at the end of this investment hype cycle. The true path to sustainable economic growth in the entertainment industry remains today what it has always been: to invest in the human talent to create lasting stories that inspire future generations. It’s the skill and passion of thousands of regular people – not corporate executives or tech financiers – that have built the entertainment industry. It is them, and them alone, that will rebuild it. Our union will continue to organize for an animation industry whose workers are rightfully recognized as the indispensable engine of artistic creation. CAG 938 Executive Board"

With Trans rights under attack in Canada and abroad, it is so important to stand in solidarity with our Trans family and friends. Two ways you can make a difference today:
1 - Help Trans & Nonbinary Canadians in Alberta by signing the "Stop Danielle Smith" letter: www.stop-smith.ca
An illustrated painting of a tree lined Vancouver shore with tones of pink blue and white from the Trans pride flag. A figure sits under a tree with a dog in the foreground. The text overlay reads "Trans Day of Rememberance, Nov. 20, 2025". The CAG 938 Pride Committee logo is in the bottom left corner, which is rendered in all of the colours of the Progress pride flag.
Today on Transgender Day of Remembrance, we take some time to think of our Trans siblings who have lost their lives to violence or suicide.
To those we have lost - We remember you. We miss you. We will fight for better in your name.

A cartoon red ball and a blue bird are smiling, high-fiving and giving the peace sign in front of a simplified maple leaf, with a big red "YES!" behind them.
Text on a light blue background reads "The Titmouse Vancouver Bargaining Committee would like to thank everyone who participated in the ratification vote this week. All digital ballots have been processed, and with a 62.2% voter turnout, we are happy to announce the final results: With 97.6% of votes in favour, the second Titmouse Vancouver Collective Agreement is RATIFIED! The wins in this renegotiation are a testament to the support, engagement, and energy of Titmouse Vancouver workers - and the power of building on the solid foundation of our first agreement. The Executive Board of CAG 938 would like to sincerely thank all of the workers at Titmouse Vancouver who volunteered their time in the Bargaining Committee, at the bargaining table, and showing up for our rally for Leads! We could not have had the strength at the table without the efforts of workers like you!"
The results are in!
Titmouse Vancouver workers voted overwhelmingly to ratify our second collective agreement!
A cartoon drawn blue bird with white and yellow markings and very buff muscular arms is stting at a table holding a pencil. On the table is a peice of paper that says "Yes / No".

A large, ruggedly handsome and strong red Caggy stands heroically with wind blowing through their hair while they carry many teeny tiny little red Caggies in their arms. There are little Caggies standing around them smiling and holding pen styluses.
What's in Titmouse Vancouver's new TA?
Recognition of Leads! Leads are now on the wage table with formalized pay increase and crediting. Leads are invaluable to the work our members do, and we got them recognized thanks to those who showed up to our rally during this summer's negotiations!
Titmouse Vancouver workers get to vote on this tentative agreement on September 25th & 26th!

A red cartoon creature is dressed in a stereotypical vacation outfit, including straw hat, Hawaiian shirt, socks with sandals, and sunglasses. Caggy is smiling, holding a suitcase, and giving a peace sign.
What's in Titmouse Vancouver's new tentative agreement?
The return of accrued vacation! Payouts per paycheque are good, but a majority told us it felt like they couldn't afford to actually take that vacation! Now it's best of both worlds - paid vacation & payout of unused vacation at contract end!
