But one group are left out: the Raven QA staff who are currently forming a union.
This is a bump up from $17/hour, a rate only gaineda few months ago.
This is good, and overdue.
“A year ago, we made a promise to make A Better ABK,” they continued.
“Little by little, we are accomplishing that goal.
This is the power of collective action.
When you work with your co-workers for the betterment of your workplace, the impossible becomes possible.”
It is great news.
But this being Activision Blizzard, it’s no surprise there’s a bummer attached.
Activision Blizzard say this is unrelated to the unionisation attempt.
Unions think they’re playing games.
The Raven crewsaidthat they too are “thrilled with today’s news”.
They’re still trying toformally unionise, a process which began witha walkoutthen weeks-long strike following QA layoffs.
They’re simply the latest in the spotlight.
And it’s thanks to workers organising that they’re staying in the spotlight.
