Or preceisely, Alex Speidel representing Paizo Workers United met with President Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh, and other worker organizers at the White House to discuss how he and his co-workers at Paizo won voluntary recognition for their union.
Hopefully, he also got to ask Biden what is his favourite Cleric domain and whether's he's more of Against the Giants or Lamentations of Flame Princess kind of guy.
Funny how something that would be likely never possible thanks to decisions of Paizo management happened thanks to the effort of rank-and-file employees :)

I did not think it would go so high. Congrats on this. And it helps underline that the official status (employee vs freelancer) matters less than the actual work relation.
Still feels a little bummed that customers' support for the cause was not mentioned at all.
I guess everyone takes us for granted.

I would pay good money to see them try to teach Biden to play Pathfinder.

It would look something like:
Alex: So, Mr President, it's a fantasy role-playing game. Role-playing games work like this...
Biden: Like Dungeons and Dragons, I know, played it once.
Alex: Yes, so our game is Pathfinder, it's like...
Biden: Like Dungeons and Dragons, I see, it's got Armor Class, hit points, you can play a Cleric, got it.
Alex: Yes, but our game is different than Dungeons and Dragons, because...
Biden: You can play a gnome now, told ya Alex, I'm pretty up to date.

Still sad you didn't actually have to explain your job to Joe Biden.
