These efforts to unionize come in response to three waves of layoffs at CD Projekt Red over the past three months. The layoffs began with 29 employees losing their jobs at The Molasses Flood, a studio owned by CD Projekt Red. Subsequently, the company made 30 more layoffs, resulting in the dissolution of the team responsible for Gwent: The Witcher Card Game. In the most recent wave of layoffs, 100 more employees were let go, attributed to the “deep transformations” taking place within the company, as stated by executives.
In an interview with Polish Gamedev Workers Union founders Lev Ki and Pawe? Myszka, the pair mentioned that they “haven’t had any response” from CD Projekt Red’s management. Nevertheless, the union has completed all the necessary legal documentation, endowing it with legal authority.
