News Summary

The unionized employees of Ubisoft Halifax have successfully secured a settlement following the studio’s closure earlier this year. CWA Canada Local 30111, representing 61 of the 71 employees at the Halifax studio, announced that the members overwhelmingly approved the settlement. While the specific compensation details remain confidential, the union acknowledged the negotiation process was challenging. Ubisoft, which closed the Halifax studio shortly after the workers voted to unionize, was accused of union busting; however, the company stated the closure was part of broader cost-cutting measures. Ubisoft’s Canadian operations remain significant, with major studios in Montreal, Toronto, and other locations.
