400 Blizzard Platform & Technology Employees Join the Ranks of Microsoft Workers Who Have Unionized

Another group of employees at Microsoft-owned Blizzard has successfully cast their votes to establish a union, with representation from the Communications Workers of America (CWA). This newly created union will include nearly 400 staff members from Blizzard’s platform and technology division. This action is part of a larger movement within the company, as numerous other unions have been formed at Blizzard in recent years. Significantly, developers from well-known franchises such as World of Warcraft, Overwatch, and Diablo have also recently attained union representation. These initiatives signify a rising movement among workers aiming to tackle issues like job security and working conditions. The CWA’s engagement underscores the growing influence of organized labor in the tech and gaming sectors, as workers seek better representation and support in their workplaces.
