Union Accusations Against Sega: Alleged Threat Of Mass Layoffs Uncovered
Portfolio Pulse from Franca Quarneti
Sega of America, a subsidiary of Sega Sammy Holdings Inc (OTC:SGAMY), is accused of threatening mass layoffs as retaliation against employees' unionization efforts. The Communications Workers of America filed an unfair labor practice complaint, alleging Sega informed unionized staff about job offshoring, affecting 40% of the group. The Allied Employees Guild Improving Sega (AEGIS-CWA) was bypassed in the process, breaching standard negotiation procedures. Despite the complaint to the National Labor Relations Board, layoffs may still proceed amidst industry-wide cost-cutting measures.
