THIS IS HISTORY IN THE MAKING! This is the first-ever online gaming contract in the United States. From the very beginning, this fight was driven by the strength of the membership and the unwavering leadership of UAW Local 7777 President Terri Sykes, who stood shoulder-to-shoulder with these brave workers every step of the way. Their solidarity, combined with the power of the UAW, made the impossible possible.
Since 2022, UAW organizers and Evolution workers faced significant challenges, including multiple legal delays and two separate election processes, one of which was overturned. Through every obstacle, the workers remained united and determined to secure their seat at the bargaining table.
“This is history in the making,” stated LaShawn English, Director of UAW Region 1. “Under the leadership of Local 7777 President Terri Sykes, we were successful in reaching this contract — the first of its kind in online gaming. These workers refused to back down. This victory sets a national precedent that will echo across this growing industry.”
The tentative agreement includes:
- Substantial wage improvements
- Stronger job protections
- Improved working conditions
- A voice on the job through collective bargaining
A ratification vote will be scheduled in the coming weeks, allowing members to review and vote on the agreement.
Director English added, “This fight proves that the labor movement is expanding into new industries, and no employer — no matter how new, no matter how large — is beyond the reach of workers who demand dignity, respect, and fairness.”
UAW Region 1 will continue to lead the way in securing strong contracts and protecting workers across all sectors.
