These conditions don't seem to be very different from many other American businesses. Unpaid overtime, minimal notification during layoffs.
Video games get a lot of attention because they are the ultimate consumer product. Workers being treated similarly at a glass factory or an accounting form wouldn't make the news.
Unionisation isn't going to solve fundamentally poor corporate performance or mismanagement. Ultimately people need to be willing to walk away from bad jobs.
The best thing that has actually happened recently for game developers is the creation of the Epic store on PC - giving 88% of revenue to developers, instead of the 70% of many others stores. Its odd so many people seem to oppose that store on one hand, and support unionisation on the other.
