Ubisoft Milan has requested a one-day block in collaboration with Ubisoft France.
As reported in Deadline, the Milanese section of the Fiom Cgil union expressed fears about the company’s return to business activity.
“It is unthinkable that a young man who lives in another region or, in any case, far from our territory can spend three days a week in Milan, changing his existence,” said Andrea Rosafalco, consultant at Fiom Cgil. “It is not economically sustainable and it is unfair on a human level.”
According to Insider Gaming, several Ubisoft Milan employees are set to leave the studio as a result. He also noted that resources said some had left to fix former creative director Davide Soliani’s new Event 4 Night studio.
GameIndustry.biz has contacted Ubisoft for additional comment.
Prior to this day, more than 700 Ubisoft France employees participated in a three-day lockdown based on a mandate that would require employees to be in the office for at least three days per day.
“The consequence of this decision will be the loss of our colleagues’ jobs, the disorganization of many gaming projects and the drastic increase in psychological risk for those who remain,” said a consultant for the French leisure workers’ union STJV. (Syndicat des Travailleurs et Travailleuses du Jeu Vidéo).
