Wizards of the Coast Urges Arena Team to Reconsider Union Drive

Wizards of the Coast reportedly sent letters to Magic: The Gathering Arena developers urging them to think twice about forming a union, using language that argues for a direct relationship with leadership and warns of worse benefits if unionized. The union says it has about 75% support and seeks protections on layoffs, remote work, and AI governance; WotC has issued a press statement and reportedly hired employer-advocacy lawyers to oppose the union, while union organizers say they haven’t been contacted directly by the company.
