Quality assurance testers at Blizzard Albany have publicly announced their intention to unionise.
“QA is currently an undervalued discipline in the games and software industries.
Blizzard Albany was formerly known as Vicarious Visions.
After completing work on that remake, the studio was merged with Blizzard Entertainment and renamed Blizzard Albany.
“Raven has been a huge inspiration to us,” Laven said.
Activision Blizzard attempted to frustrate Raven’s QA staff’s attempts at organising.
Activision Blizzard denied any wrongdoing.
Blizzard Albany’s QA staff have filed for a union election with the US National Labor Relations Board.
“We believe that a direct relationship between the company and its employees is the most productive relationship.
The company will be publicly and formally providing a response to the petition to the NLRB.”
Activision Blizzard are currently in the process of beingbought by Microsoft for $69 billion.
Microsoft have said theywon’t block unionisation efforts.
