Activision-owned Raven Software employees form union

QA testers at Raven Software, an Activision-owned studio, today announced they have formed a union. The union, called the Game Workers Alliance, reportedly includes 80% of Raven’s QA division. They are requesting recognition from Activision Blizzard.

The Raven QA team formed the Game Workers Alliance with Communication Workers of America. Its principles include better transparency, improved compensation, and more sustainable working conditions. According to Raven, this would be the first group of employees within Activision Blizzard to unionize, and it would be one of the first unions in the AAA games industry.
