Magic: The Gathering Arena developers at Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro have unionized following an NLRB vote on June 2, 2026. The cohort organized under Communications Workers of America as United Wizards of the Coast-CWA (UWOTC-CWA), seeking generative AI assurances, layoff protections, and compensation transparency. Wizards of the Coast declined voluntary recognition and reportedly discouraged unionization; the majority of election participants voted in favor. The union is now focused on ratifying a contract with the company.
