IGN Entertainment is refusing to pay its workers the wages we deserve, even as we make #IGNLive the event that it is this weekend.

So we left a message that can’t be ignored. And you should too. Let our management know that you support us by sending them an email at the link in bio. by @ignunion

Today, the IGNCG sent this letter to our President of Ziff Davis Gaming and Entertainment, Yael Prough, to demand fair wages in our contract with IGN Entertainment.

They are proposing to increase our yearly wages by less than the rate of inflation, meaning we would make less money year-on-year. This is unacceptable, and we won’t stand for it.

Please join us in asking @error.justin, @peerign, @corradimus, and @yprough to pay the people who keep IGN running their fair share. Yael,  “Consistent with our commitments, we respect the right to freedom of association and collective bargaining, and we will engage in good faith with collective bargaining groups.”
  That is what the Ziff Davis Labor Rights Policy states. And for the most part, that is how IGN has conducted itself throughout the negotiations over the IGN Creators Guild’s first contract. The process has been cordial and productive. Until now. The company’s most recent proposal regarding the unit's yearly wage increases is disrespectful to your staff.  To put it plainly: IGN's offer to the union doesn't keep up with inflation, which continues to rise. Our current proposal, which steps down from 4.5% to 4% over the course of the contract, is more than reasonable. To assert that a 2.5-3% yearly increase in salaries is acceptable in 2026, when the average rate of inflation over the past five years has been 4.2%, is insulting. What you are telling us is that IGN is more comfortable subsidizing its bottom line with the value of our salaries than putting us in a position of security so that we can focus on what really matters: making great content for a brand we care so deeply about.  For this offer to be even less than what the Ziff Davis Creator’s Guild received in their contract when they ratified it in 2021 is just as insulting. IGN is the most stable and successful brand of the gaming division by multiple measures. We deserve wages that reflect the value we bring to this organization. We demand it.   If you want to finish this contract, pay us fairly.   Sincerely, The IGN Creators Guild by @ignunion

Union says fuck it, takes lunch at 11:30am to show our solidarity ✊

Today, the IGNCG is coming together to celebrate May Day! We realize we’re a bit early, but we’re just too excited about collective power and getting so close to getting our very first contract done. 

We’ve got pizza, speakers, and pride in the work we’re doing to make IGN a better place to work for all of us, and for those who come after. 💜 by @ignunion

It's been a ✨while✨ since we've posted, huh?

That's because our Bargaining team has been DEEP in negotiations over our first contract for over a year now.

But we're finally getting towards the end, and we're hopeful that we can come to a fair agreement!

I mean how could you say no to these faces? A beautiful collage of IGNCG members (and our lovely rep) in a Zoom meeting, prepping to negotiate a fair contract for their coworkers. by @ignunion

Ziff Davis and IGN routinely decide that work done by our laid off colleagues is not important. But inevitably, that crucial work falls onto those who remain.

Not this time. Not anymore. by @ignunion

So why were 8 of our members and 23 members of the Ziff Davis Creators Guild just laid off? by @ignunion

Today, IGN laid off eight extremely valuable members of our union and workforce via directive from our parent company, Ziff Davis. This, after two incredibly successful live events IGN Live and SDCC, and yet another corporate acquisition.

An update: management has chosen not to recognize our Product, Engineering, and Humble Bundle colleagues as part of IGNCG, instead insisting on a time-consuming NLRB hearing, which took place last week.

Help us spread the word: we will not be divided. We are IGN, and we will always stand together. ✊ by @ignunion

It’s been- 

One week since we asked IGN Entertainment to recognize our friends on the product, engineering, and Humble Bundle teams as part of the IGN Creators Guild. 

The sooner that happens, the sooner we can start working with management to build towards a stronger future for us all! by @ignunion
