Damn, what is it with us game industry folks. We just can’t turn away…
OK, so up late again, doing more research, reading, etc, on the whole quality of life issue. Found a great site talking about the the “competitive advantages” of companies with strong/positive workplace practices. Nice. Also, here’s a good list of books on work-life balance.
Regarding unionization, I’d like to quickly clarify on my statements made below. First, these statements are based on my personal opinions and observations and do not necessarily reflect that of the IGDA. As noted, the role of a professional association is vastly different from that of a union, and it is not the IGDA’s (or my) place to condemn or condone unions.
In fact, we’re looking into inviting a union/collective-bargaining expert or scholar to attend the QoL Summit at GDC.
Anyway, thought I’d just clarify things a bit.

I spotted a quote from you re: working conditions in an LA Times article this morning.
