Action Alert! Stand With Ebay Workers at CWA Local 1123!
This past March, workers at TCGplayer - a company owned by eBay that makes gaming cards - voted overwhelmingly to join CWA Local 1123, becoming the first eBay workers to unionize in the country! But the company has been mounting a tough anti-union campaign, including filing multiple appeals to throw out the election results.
The workers and CWA are fighting back. In a statement, the TCGplayer workers said, “TCGplayer presents itself as a company defined by its ideals, claiming to empower its employees to make a difference both inside their workplace and through their impact on our customers’ experience. However, the Core Values now ring hollow for too many of us who work at the Authentication Center every day. We have seen our fellow workers unfairly disciplined and consistently ignored when they try to make their voices heard. Our mental health has been impacted by the relentless insistence on metrics, creating a culture of anxiety as we desperately try to keep up with unfair standards of performance.”
