Activision QA Workers Form Largest Video Game Union in US

The unionization, facilitated by a Microsoft-CWA agreement, aims to improve labor conditions for QA workers.

600 Activision QA workers have formed the largest video game union in the US, facilitated by the Communications Workers of America (CWA).
The unionization was made possible through a labor neutrality agreement between Microsoft and the CWA, following Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard.
This union surpasses the previous largest in the gaming industry, Zenimax Workers United, also a CWA union at a Microsoft subsidiary.
The union aims to address issues such as low pay and weak protections for QA workers, who are often the lowest paid and least protected in the industry.
Microsoft's voluntary recognition of the union marks a significant step towards improving labor conditions in the gaming industry.
