We, the workers of SEGA of America, are unionizing as the Allied Employees Guild Improving SEGA (AEGIS) with the Communication Workers of America (CWA). We are united in our belief that by banding together, we can secure a future where we are empowered to advocate for ourselves, and for our colleagues.
As employees at SEGA, our goal is to create high quality games and cross-media experiences for our wide, devoted fanbase. Our lack of control over our own working conditions has greatly hampered this goal. In the interest of delivering the best quality products to our fans, we must have the opportunity to make decisions that impact our working conditions. Amidst wages that are below the industry average, weak benefits, and lack of paths to promotion, unionization is our answer.
As one example, nearly a third of SEGA's long-time workers still lack full-time status, paid time off, proper training, or even bereavement leave, despite dedicating years of their lives to SEGA.
Our mission is to attain:
Higher base pay for all, following industry standards, with raises tied to the cost of living and inflation
Improved, stable benefits for all, including healthcare, retirement, remote work opportunities, and more
Increased, clearly outlined opportunities for advancement
Balanced workloads and schedules, and defined responsibilities for all positions
Adequate staffing of departments to end patterns of overwork
