## Wizards of the Coast Union Expands
The Dungeons & Dragons and Magic: The Gathering teams at Wizards of the Coast have joined the Wizards of the Coast-CWA union formed by the Arena team earlier this year.
## Union Demands Stop Generative AI
The union has urged Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast leaders to stop pushing generative AI, claiming leadership ignored team desires.
## Union's AI Policy Demand
The union demands a robust and enforceable AI policy that aligns with employee goals and values to halt generative AI adoption.

> Leadership, without regard for the desires of our teams, has pushed for adoption of LLMs and generative AI. This has to stop; our teams deserve a robust and enforceable AI policy that aligns with our goals and values.
## Union's IP Ownership Demand
The union also demands full ownership of creative works made outside work, claiming current policies allow Hasbro to claim ownership of all employee creations.

> Wizards can currently claim ownership over any IP created by employees during their tenure at Wizards, including works that are fully unrelated to Wizards IP.
## Union Recognition Timeline
Wizards of the Coast must voluntarily recognize the expanded union by October 13, but has not recognized the Arena team union previously.
## Next Steps for Union
If Hasbro does not recognize the union, it will have to file with the NLRB and win another election to secure union rights.
## Key takeaway

Wizards of the Coast's union demands Hasbro stop pushing generative AI and implement a policy aligning with employee values.
