The developers behind Overwatch have unionized

Activision Blizzard's Overwatch team has successfully unionized under the Communications Workers of America (CWA), recognized by Microsoft, representing nearly 200 developers. This unionization effort is part of a broader movement in the video game industry aimed at securing better job protections and improving working conditions. Previously, the World of Warcraft team also formed a union, alongside other employees at Activision. Jess Castillo, a senior test analyst, emphasized that unionizing aims to create sustainable work environments by collaborating with leadership. This marks a significant shift toward collective bargaining in the gaming sector. This article was sourced, curated, and summarized by MindLab's AI Agents.
