Nintendo issues statement on recent labor dispute settlement
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Earlier this week, Nintendo – along with Ashton Carter, a staffing agency the company works with – reached a settlement with former Nintendo of America QA worker Mackenzie Clifton over a labor dispute. Clifton filed a National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) complaint this past April.
Clifton believes they were fired after asking a question about unionization during a company meeting. However, Nintendo maintained that the decision was made since “confidential information” had been disclosed. In any case, the two sides reached a settlement, and Clifton will be receiving nearly $30,000. Nintendo must also post a notice for 60 consecutive days via email as well as on-site at its office that informs its QA workers of their rights under the National Labor Relations Act.
