Lige nu er spilbranchens mange, mange tusindvis af ansatte i USA på vej imod forøget fagforeningsdannelse, som startede hos Activision Blizzard, trods ihærdig kamp fra den nu afgående ledelse. Siden da har vi set en lang række fagforeninger opstå, men spørger du Nintendo USA-chef Doug Bowser, så har de slet ikke brug for sådan noget hos dem.
I et interview med Inverse forklarer Bowser, at grundet høj tilfredshed med arbejdsforholdene hos den enkelte medarbejder, så behøver de ikke fagforeninger.
"We don't currently have unions at Nintendo of America, and part of that is driven by the employee feedback we see, which is a high degree of job satisfaction and engagement overall. You only have to look at our retention numbers, which are very, very high within the industry, and our obviously low turnover rate as a result. Our focus has always been on creating a culture that's inclusive, has a work-life balance, and is focused on our singular mission of bringing smiles to faces."
Det er naturligvis let for en leder at sige, men Bowser holder dog fast i at hvis medarbejderne ønsker at danne en intern fagforening, eller slutte sig til en, så må de gerne:
"We're always listening to our workers and we want to make sure we have both formal and informal ways of getting worker feedback and understanding the needs of our employees and where we can improve. And we always act on that feedback. And, as I said earlier, there is always a right to form unions and we respect that."
