Just Cause developer Avalanche has confirmed plans to enter a collective bargaining agreement with Swedish unions.
In a press release, Avalanche said the agreement is planned to go into effect by the second quarter of 2025 – that’s a year from now – and “will apply to all Avalanchers employed in Sweden” in a bid to standardise “frameworks” around employment rights, including salaries, benefits, employee influence, and career support.
“Over the past years, we’ve taken significant steps toward making Avalanche one of the best workplaces in the games industry,” says Stefanía Halldórsdóttir, Avalanche Studios Group’s CEO.
“Our inclusive, warm, and welcoming culture, sound work-life balance, profit sharing, and parental leave policy – just to name a few – are a testament to that. These are all things that set us apart and allow us to focus on making great games. We hope that signing a CBA will be yet another step in that same direction.
