Charter
WHAT WE CAMPAIGN FOR
Our charter outlines the central tenets of our campaign. We are fighting for game workers on five key issues.
1) Increasing pay
2) Ending crunch and unpaid overtime
3) Securing stable contracts
4) An end to the culture of harassment and bullying
5) Increased investment in the game sector.
We believe it is only through a strong union we can fight to have our collective voice heard on these problems. Membership of GWU Ireland is open to everyone who agrees with our charter.
