Canadian union files complaint against Ubisoft over studio closure The CWA Canada union has filed a complaint against Ubisoft, accusing the company of closing its Halifax studio to suppress union activity. The decision to close the studio was made a few weeks after the majority of employees voted to join the union.
Ubisoft denies the allegations, claiming that the closure was part of a long-standing plan to optimize costs and was not related to the union. Lawyers are demanding that the company provide documents confirming the economic necessity of this step. Ubisoft previously received $12 million in government support for development in the region.
