Magic: The Gathering Arena developers at Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro have successfully unionized under the United Wizards of the Coast-CWA (UWOTC-CWA) banner following an NLRB election on June 2, 2026. Workers sought protections around generative AI use, layoffs, and compensation transparency. After Wizards of the Coast declined voluntary recognition and reportedly discouraged unionization efforts, the majority voted in favor. The union now aims to ratify a contract and hopes to inspire other game industry workers to organize.
