What you need to know

  • Workers at Microsoft-owned Blizzard Entertainment who develop World of Warcraft's expansions and updates are unionizing. 
  • The "wall to wall" union includes around 500 members of departments across art, engineering, production, sound, and more.
  • This comes just days after around 240 employees at Microsoft's Bethesda Game Studios in the U.S. also unionized. 
  • Microsoft has remained neutral in employee unionization efforts, a direct contrast to the approach most other big companies have taken.
