ACTIVISION again? I'm trying to seal the voice of workers

The QA (quality control department) team of BLIZZARD ALBANY (formerly Vicarious Visions, a long-established developer who has developed the Activision title), which is currently involved in the development of Diablo4, is planning to vote on union formulation on November 18. At the last two weeks, Activision BLIZZARD requested NLRB (the National Labor Committee) to postpone the total. At the same time as filing a voting paper seizure, the team has appealed to NLRB's decision that the team can make its own union voting.

The blizzard albany qa team aims to form union to secure better wages and medical security, but the Activision side says that QA teams are too small to acquire qualifications as an independent negotiation department in the company. You should vote for the union. In the past, the company has repeatedly claimed the same assertion when the Raven Software QA team was voted, and some media reported, Does Activision also interfere with the union crushing?

ACTIVISION is desperate to hinder the legal right of labor to form a labor union, said Sara Stiffens of the labor union CWA (Communications Workers of America Union) to which the staff of Blizzard Albany belongs to Gamesindustry.biz. ( Raven QA team formally formed a labor union in May this year) Raven QA teams are formally formed. It is not surprising that a company that has been tried many times will prevent voting in union elections and try to contain workers' voices again. It is necessary to protect workers from this abused employer. Announced a statement.

Depending on the decision, all the Diablo teams based in Albany may have a significant impact, but Stiffens is confident in the company's NLRB response to the thin demand. He also states that the unity of the employees of Activision Blizzard will be promoted.
