TCG authenticating is an integral part of any trading card ecosystem, especially for big-time collectors or players who just want to honor some of their greatest cards. But life for the people behind the authenticators isn't so easy: earlier this month, one of the biggest authentication centers rallied to demand better wages and respect.
The Campaign to Organise Digital Employees in the Tech, Games, and Digital Industries (CODE-CWA) announced that members of eBay's authentication center in Syracuse would be holding a rally on October 3 to demand a living wage. "The majority of eBay authentication centre workers in Syracuse earn less than a living wage for a single person without children," CODE-CWA says in a tweet. "eBay is worth almost $29 Billion."
