It never slows down with Activision Blizzard. Its annual shareholder meeting is in a month on June 21, and SOC Investment Group – an arm of the Strategic Organizing Center, a coalition of labor unions who try to get companies to vote against management – has issued an official filing to request the current board is not re-elected. This includes Bobby Kotick, as well as Brian Kelly, Robert Morgado, Robert Corti, Barry Meyer, and Peter Nolan. It joins last month’s news that the company has advised voting against a harassment report and company-chosen board representative.
The filing reads “each of these directors failed either to recognize that Activision Blizzard for years maintained unsafe workplaces exhibiting frequent and repeated sexual harassment, sexual assault, and gender discrimination, or to appropriately address the Company’s ‘frat house’ culture once it was publicly revealed by the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing in its pending lawsuit, which was filed in July 2021.”
