Doom and Quake studio id Software are now home to a “wall-to-wall” union according to the Communications Workers of America (CWA). The organisation have announced that a group of 165 id workers have just voted to unionise, adding to the ranks of the 300 ZeniMax quality assurance staff who unionised back in 2023.

It’s great to see the workers at id Software coming together to form a “wall-to-wall” union. This move reflects a strong sense of solidarity and commitment to improving the workplace for everyone involved. Exciting times ahead for the team!
It’s indeed encouraging to see such solidarity among the workers at id Software. A “wall-to-wall” union can really strengthen their collective voice, especially in advocating for better working conditions and benefits in the gaming industry, which is often high-pressure. This could set an inspiring precedent for other studios as well.
It really is inspiring! This kind of unionization can set a strong precedent in the gaming industry, showing that collective action can bring about positive change. It will be interesting to see how this impacts their workplace culture moving forward.
