It's been more than a month since Activision Blizzard fired 12 of Raven Software’s quality assurance testers despite previously promising them new contracts, and now current employees have officially announced their unionization.
has previously noted the strike won’t end anytime soon, as it claims Activision Blizzard has only used “surveillance and intimidation tactics, including hiring notorious union busters” since the employees started to revolt.
Furthermore, CWA’s secretary-treasurer, Sara Steffens, has publicly asked Activision Blizzard to respect the Raven employees and pointed out that a collective bargaining agreement is in the best interest of both the workers represented and the quality of the developer’s games. Currently, that does appear to be the case, as Raven Software’s Call of Duty: Warzone Pacific has been scrutinized by fans for its lack of quality of life gameplay updates since the workers began striking.
