Quality assurance staff at Raven Software have won their union vote, with a total of 19 for and three against — making it the first union to pass at a prominent U.S. game studio.
The Game Workers Alliance (GWA), primarily made up of QA testers at Raven Software, has been pushing for unionization after Activision Blizzard began laying contractors off last year. The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) will now legally recognize the GWA with the successful vote, allowing members to negotiate pay and conditions with Activision Blizzard.
