Nintendo of America and a former QA Staff Member have reached a settlement regarding a Staffing Agent named Aston Carter. Earlier this year, the QA Staff Member Mackenzie Clifton filed a National Labor Relations Board complaint that accused Nintendo of America and Carter of firing them for “supporting a labor union,” claiming that it was done to “discourage union activities and/or membership.”
Recently, in a report from Polygon, Clifton reached an agreement with Nintendo for Carter to “take liability for the NLRB charge and pay the former QA worker $25,910 in back pay, damages, and interest,” according to settlement documents that the website obtained. Nintendo of America will also be posting a notice, both in email and on-site at its office, that will tell QA Workers of their rights under the National Labor Relations Act, and it must be done within 60 days.
Additionally, a spokesperson for Nintendo of America sent Polygon the following statement:
In addition to this labor dispute, a second charge was filed against Nintendo and Carter, claiming that the company fired a worker for “engaged in protected concerted activity.”
