<p>1: "For now, what we’re calling for is voluntary recognition from Paizo management. For them to agree to sit down at the bargaining table with us and engage in good-faith negotiations. "</p>
<p>This is directly what the United Paizo Workers (UPW) have asked for so far.</p>
<p>The support card I also attached does not seem to be made by the union, but I can't point to the origin of it directly. Regardless of that, we come to this:</p>
<p>2: "Beginning September 16th, <b>a united bloc of approximately 40 Paizo freelance writers, game designers, and adventure authors </b> announced to management they would be refusing new contracts and in some cases withholding current work until improvements were made for employees. Demands included Paizo fill an HR position that was allowed to sit vacant and leave Paizo without HR for months; that non-warehouse staff be permitted to continue working from home during the pandemic, and that all non-warehouse staff are afforded the option to work remotely from outside Washington if they choose; that Paizo be fully transparent about all salary information; <b>and that Paizo bring a full-time diversity consultant onto staff.</b>"</p>
<p>The issues we are debating recently in this thread are slighltly incorrect. While the union hasn't publicly called for a diversity consultant, who knows if they will? - it appears it was a coalition of individuals outside of the Paizo paid staffers. </p>
<p>Please be mindful and informed, and check your sources twice, heck, site them if needed, before playing a horrible game of telephone and detracting attention from the presented platforms. I encourage you all to take a few minutes today before resuming conversation to reread the blog, and twitter posts from UPW, even the support card, and take 5 minutes digestion of their contents before continuing. (you can find these again in the first post of this thread)</p>
<p>Thank you <3</p>Hello friends, stepping in again to redirect the conversation and ask your consideration for a moment.

<p>"We, the Paizo workers, recognize that workplace issues shouldn’t be management’s responsibility to solve in a vacuum, and we want to have a seat at the table for discussions on our working conditions and livelihoods. We believe our support is invaluable to management as we all work to make Paizo the best it can be.</p>
<p>For this reason we, the United Paizo Workers (UPW), are invoking our right to organize and administer a vote to form a union. We are working closely with Communications Workers of America (CWA), who have helped organize and represent other workers in the entertainment and gaming industries. We want Paizo and the products we make together to be successful, and to nurture a positive work environment for all staff. We believe that our union is the best avenue with which we as employees can help management achieve that."</p>
<p>I fully support the Unionization of Paizo, and would love to reinstate my subscriptions if Paizo voluntarily recognizes this.
