Activision user research workers form union

User research workers at Activision voted for a union, either singing union authorization cards or indicating that they wanted union representation. The workers can now join CWA Local 9400 in Los Angeles, which is recognised by Microsoft. This is the first group of user research workers to unionise in the games industry.

“A union allows workers to create an industry that works for them, which is vital in an industry that we deeply care about,” said organizing committee member and user research moderator Pat Dimaandal. “Workers should not feel punished for pursuing a career that they love, and that’s why we’re organizing toward long-term, sustainable careers in this industry.”
