BioWare Cuts Ties with Unionized QA Studio, Resulting in Layoffs of 13 Workers

All of Keywords Studios' unionized QA workers were laid off after BioWare declined to continue its contract.

The QA workers had won their union vote in June, becoming the first games industry union in Canada.

13 people were laid off - everyone supporting BioWare on Dragon Age Dreadwolf.

The group of workers were laid off on Sept. 27 after BioWare laid off 50 of its own employees.

The union filed an employment standards complaint against Keywords Studios this week.
