:A small group of Activision Blizzard workers voted for unionizing at a studio that works on the popular"Call of Duty" franchise, the second victory in a push to organize the video gaming industry.

“We respect and believe in the right of all employees to decide whether or not to support or vote for a union. We believe that an important decision that will impact the entire Raven Software studio of roughly 350 people should not be made by 19 Raven employees,” Activision said in a statement following the vote.In December, Vodeo became the first video game studio in North America with workers to secure union representation.

Workers at more than 50 U.S. Starbucks cafes have elected to join Workers United, while five stores voted against the union, out of roughly 240 that have sought to hold elections since last August.
