QA testers at Activision Blizzard studio Raven Software win vote to unionise
A group of 28 QA testers at Activision Blizzard's Wisconsin-based Raven Software studio have, despite the publisher's ongoing anti-unionisation efforts, won their vote to unionise.
Quality Assurance testers at Raven Software formally announced their intent to unionise under the name Game Workers Alliance in January - amid then-ongoing strike action following the firing of 12 members of the developer's QA team - but when Activision Blizzard missed a deadline to voluntarily recognise the union, the group filed a petition with independent government agency the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to initiate a union election.
Activision Blizzard contested the filing, but its arguments were rejected by NLRB, whereupon the publisher was reportedly began ramping up its anti-unionisation efforts.
