(GIBiz), the unions — for both AAA and mobile teams — are demanding Ubisoft ensure protections for remote work and walk back the recent policy changes.

The changes that were announced back in September mandated that all Ubisoft employees work in office at least three days per week. At the time, Ubisoft said these changes were being done to “enhance creativity and teamwork”. Under the old remote work policy, employees were able to chose up to 60% of days to be worked remotely. On top of that, there were also fully-remote workers on staff. The new mandate was to be followed by all employees, even t hose with prior full-time remote agreements.

According to the unions via GIBiz, the change by Ubisoft was done “suddenly and without transparency”. It would also “create logistical problems as offices aren’t prepared to accommodate all remote workers at once.”

It was added that both parties were ready for negotiations. However, Ubisoft management hadn’t submitted a proposal before the lawsuit was filed on October 14.

Ubisoft has yet to comment on the lawsuit.
