The SJTV's strike demands include a formal agreement on remote work policy, salary increases, restoration of profit-sharing, and a commitment to respectable dialogue between management and employee representatives.

The October work stoppage will mark the second strike from French Ubisoft employees this year. In February, French labor unions called
