Wizards of the Coast sent a letter to staff ahead of a June 2 unionization vote with the CWA, warning that union representation could result in employees having "more, the same, or less" benefits than currently. The letter stated that collective bargaining outcomes are unpredictable and can take an average of 465 days, while suggesting direct communication with leadership is stronger than third-party representation.
