Hand-painted 3D characters and environments based on concepts by comics legend Mick McMahon (Judge Dredd, 2000 AD) The Last Worker delivers an emotional, thought provoking and inspiring story with rich characters performed by an all-star cast starring, Jason Isaacs, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, Clare-Hope Ashitey, David Hewlett, Zelda Williams and Tommie Earl Jenkins. But when S.P.E.A.R., a group of activists, asks Kurt to help dismantle Jüngle from the inside, Kurt is forced to discover his employer’s dark underbelly. Kurt (voiced by Ólafur Darri Ólafsson) has dedicated his life to Jüngle, with only his co-bot, Skew (Jason Isaacs) to keep him company. Having dedicated his life to work, Kurt’s loyalty is put to the test when a group of activists ask him to dismantle Jüngle from the inside.Īboard his corporate issued flying JünglePod and armed with his multi-purpose JüngleGun, Kurt dispatches countless products from a fulfilment centre the size of the sunken city of Manhattan.

Kurt works for the world’s largest retailer and is forced to choose between capitalism or activism. The game is set in a lonely, oppressive but strangely beautiful environment, with characters designed by comics legend Mick McMahon. When that happened last November as a result of a court challenge, talks resumed - but later reached an impasse and the wage dispute went to binding arbitration in hearings last month.The Last Worker is an immersive narrative adventure centered around a lone worker’s last stand in an increasingly automated world, with a unique blend of work simulation and stealth strategic gameplay. But they had also negotiated the right to reopen talks in the event Bill 124 was struck down as unconstitutional. “They are some recognition of the contribution they made in the pandemic.”Ĭontracts for the workers in the Canadian Union of Public Employees and SEIU Healthcare expired in 2021 and their bargaining with hospitals resulted in the mandated maximum increases of one per cent. While the raises are below the rate of inflation that peaked at eight per cent last year, “I think they’ll be well received,” said Michael Hurley of the Ontario Council of Hospital Unions. The increases for 45,000 registered practical nurses, personal support workers, cooks, lab technicians and other occupations including dietary aides were awarded Tuesday by arbitrator William Kaplan. Hospital workers whose unions fought Premier Doug Ford’s Bill 124 wage restraint legislation - limiting them to raises of one per cent annually - have won pay hikes of 3.75 per cent for last year and 2.5 per cent this year.
