We, the Paizo workers, recognize that workplace issues shouldn’t be management’s responsibility to solve in a vacuum, and we want to have a seat at the table for discussions on our working conditions and livelihoods. We believe our support is invaluable to management as we all work to make Paizo the best it can be.
For this reason we, the United Paizo Workers (UPW), are invoking our right to organize and administer a vote to form a union. We are working closely with Communications Workers of America (CWA), who have helped organize and represent other workers in the entertainment and gaming industries. We want Paizo and the products we make together to be successful, and to nurture a positive work environment for all staff. We believe that our union is the best avenue with which we as employees can help management achieve that.

Our new brethren at @TCGunionCWA are facing an ugly anti-union campaign from their bosses at @TCGplayer and @eBay
They're dragging employees into captive meetings and surveilling employees (both of which are, by the way, illegal!)
Man, @TCGplayer got the cards we need for our pro-worker deck
