The ZeniMax Workers United-CWA union has voted "overwhelmingly" to authorize union leadership to call for a strike if contract negotiations with Microsoft continue to drag on without resolution.
ZeniMax Workers United, a part of the Communications Workers of America, was formed in January 2023 and was at the time the largest videogame union in the US. Negotiations for a first contract began shortly thereafter but nearly two years later, limited headway has been made. The union's chief concerns include better wages, "workplace improvements," accommodations for remote work, "and the company’s replacement of in-house quality assurance work with outsourced labor without notifying the union."
