Summary
A group of roughly 600 software testers at Activision Blizzard formed the U.S. video game industry's largest union, the first to organize under a new labor agreement negotiated as part of Microsoft's acquisition of Activision. The union is seeking higher wages and more career opportunities for quality assurance workers who feel undervalued compared to engineers and developers. Microsoft has committed to remaining neutral about employees who express interest in unionizing.
