Workers at Sega of America's Irvine office in California have announced plans to form a union. The union will be called Allied Employees Guild Improving Sega (AEGIS), and the group is working with the labor union Communications Workers of America on the initiative.

"We are united in our belief that by banding together, we can secure a future where we are empowered to advocate for ourselves, and for our colleagues," AEGIS said in a statement.

The organization is asking Sega of America to recognize its union without interference. GameSpot has contacted Sega for a response.
