Nintendo—Faced new NLRB complaints alleging violations of worker organizing rights
In December 2025 and January 2026, two new labor complaints were filed with the National Labor Relations Board against Nintendo of America and contractor Teksystems. The complaints allege violations of NLRA sections 8(a)(1) and 8(a)(4), which protect workers' rights to organize and prohibit retaliation against those who file charges. This follows a 2022 settlement where Nintendo paid $26,000 to a fired game tester.
