Bethesda Game Studios Montreal has applied to form a union with the Quebec Labour Board. 

In a post on Twitter, this new bargaining unit – One BGS MTL – said that it planned to unionise with the Communications Workers of America (CWA). It's unclear how many staff this unit would represent or what kinds of workers are part of this union. 

"As a union, we will strive to make BGS a supportive workplace that fosters creativity and talent. This will allow us to keep creating some of the best video games in the industry in the jobs and at the studio we all love," BGS One MTL wrote. 

"Having a seat at the table will ensure job security as well as improve transparency, accountability, flexibility and more. We aim to make sure everyone receives fair compensation for their work and the value they provide." 

If successful, this would be the second ZeniMax studio to unionise, following ZeniMax quality assurance staff forming ZeniMax Workers United in January 2023. Microsoft previously entered into a labour neutrality agreement with the CWA; this was extended to ZeniMax staff in May of this year. 

In short, this means that unions within these companies do not need to seek recognition from Microsoft.
