CWA Member Joins the AFL-CIO 2024 State of the Unions Event


ZeniMax Workers United-CWA Local 2108 member Autumn Mitchell joined AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler at the 2024 State of the Unions event to amplify tech and video game organizing.

This Tuesday, CWA Local 2108 member Autumn Mitchell attended AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler's second annual "State of the Unions" address, outlining the key strides America's unions are making in building a better economy that works for all. The AFL-CIO brought together labor union leaders, workers, and allies to discuss the crucial role that the labor movement is playing in electing Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to the White House. Watch the full livestream here.

Before President Shuler's speech, Mitchell shared with the audience the power of collective action within the video game industry and the growing momentum of support for CODE-CWA and video game workers across the nation.

"Six years ago, none of us were organized at tech and games. CWA worked really hard with us to build relationships, and now our union represents thousands of tech and game workers. Needless to say, I am really looking forward to the next six years," said Mitchell. "It's better in a union for us because it means finally having a real opportunity to change the games industry for the better."

CODE-CWA now represents over 6,000 workers in the tech and video game industries.
