US Labor Relations Board says Blizzard Albany QA union vote can proceed despite Activision's objections

The NLRB dismissed Activision's arguments against allowing the Blizzard Albany QA staff to proceed with a unionisation vote, noting that the low pay of the QA team relative to other staff at the studio made them notably different from other staff working on Diablo 4.

A statement given to the Post by Activision Blizzard spokesman Rich George says that, while Activision respects the NLRB process, the company disagrees"that a decision that could significantly impact the future of the entire Albany-based Diablo team should be made by just a handful of employees".

If I were A/B, I'd straight up sell my IPs to whomever, settle out the lawsuits and close my doors.

Workers of the world unite!

Good. I'd rather see a QA barely paid a living wage get a raise than have to read anymore ABK dribble from arrogant game devs making 6 or 7 figures about sexual assault allegations, judgemenal nonsense, and defamations. Tired of people getting screwed by that company.

Good

Good, the workers deserve the ability to unionize.

Can't think of a gaming company that needs one more. Or, at least, deserves it.

Hope they don't buy anyone good.
