Activision Blizzard to begin negotiations with union

Activision Blizzard has recognized and is entering into negotiations with Communications Workers of America. The company intends to negotiate “to enter into a collective bargaining agreement.”

The union recently formed following a vote from Raven’s QA team. It began last year when some members of the team were laid off, despite the team working on the popular title Call of Duty: Warzone. Activision allegedly engaged in union-busting activities behind the scenes, including outright asking employees to vote “no” to the union.
