Bargaining Committee Report


For the past five weeks, the bargaining committees for the Union and ZeniMax, have been meeting and negotiating a package of proposals that ZeniMax passed to the Union.

The package contains 15 different proposals:
AI protections; Crediting guidelines; Employee Stock Purchase Plan benefits; codifies Business expense practices; Health and Welfare Benefits; sets Contract Expiration dates; defines Length of Service; outlines Management Rights; provides No Strike/No Lockout protections; includes a Successorship guarantee; states Union Rights and Activities; provides a Union Leave of Absence opportunity; option to offer Voluntary Separation Plan; and spells out a Reduction in Force procedure while determining Severance Pay and benefits plus a Recall Right procedure and establishes an Annual Increase cadence.

As of 2:15pm ET today, we have reached a tentative agreement with ZeniMax on 14 of those proposals in that package. The proposal on the Annual Raises was removed from the package and will be addressed in the next phase of compensation bargaining.


In solidarity,
One Big ZeniMax United Bargaining Committee
