1,200 Ubisoft Employees Go On Strike

Earlier this year, Ubisoft unions called for a strike against the video game publisher, and it's happening right now. Over 1,200 Ubisoft employees have walked out on their jobs in protest over the company's recent restructuring, its plans for future layoffs, and a recent return-to-office mandate.

Five Ubisoft unions--STJV, Solidaires Informatique, CGT, CFE-CGC, and Printemps Ecologique--are taking part in the strike, which is primarily taking place in France. However, the three-day strike is also impacting workers at Ubisoft Milan.

In January, the unions called for Yves Guillemot to resign from his position as Ubisoft's CEO.
