    Ok so did they organize and sue the company?

    Cuz enforcement usually requires more work such as a class action suit. Lawyers aren’t just jumping out there suing companies and filing the paper work to protect workers all on their own. There’s usually at least one person organizing it.

    So who’s the person who got let go at Ubisoft that got it started?
