After eBay purchased TCGplayer for up to $295 million late last year, the employees revived their efforts to create a union. They attempted to organise in 2020 but withdrew their union election petition days before the vote. TCGplayer, according to the CWA, foiled such attempts by hiring a union-busting outfit and launching “an intensive anti-union campaign in which employees were often required to attend captive audience meetings and disparaged by management in business correspondence.”
