    Microsoft enters agreement to respect Activision Blizzard union - The Washington Post

      Syndicat patronal ? Ou de salariés du jeu vidéo ? #stjv

      C’est un syndicat de salariés, Game Workers Alliance.

      L’adhésion au syndicat fait suite aux multiples cas de sexisme et de harcèlement sexuel au sein d’Activision Blizzard dénoncés depuis le début de l’année, avec des poursuites judiciaires, en cours de règlement à l’amiable, qui, si ma mémoire est bonne, n’a pas encore été définitivement validé par la justice.

      Il est à noter que l’adhésion au syndicat de travailleurs a été votée par l’équipe d’assurance qualité (les « testeurs ») au sein du studio Raven Software, filiale d’Activision Blizzard. Parmi les démarches visant à empêcher l’apparition d’un syndicat de travailleurs au sein de l’éditeur, la réaction du studio a été de supprimer le département d’assurance qualité en tant que tel, pour affecter les salariés directement aux jeux testés. Cette tentative anti-syndicale semble avoir échoué.

      Jusqu’ici, Microsoft restait distant vis-à-vis de la création du syndicat au sein d’Activision Blizzard. En effet, Microsoft n’a pas encore finalisé l’acquisition d’Activision Blizzard. En attendant, Microsoft ne souhaitait pas s’immiscer dans les affaires internes de sa future filiale, rattachée à la division Xbox. Il semblerait qu’il y a eu un changement de cap.

      On se plaint, en France, de l’absence de représentativité des salariés par les syndicats. Au moins, la représentativité syndicale est obligatoire pour les entreprises au-delà d’une certaine taille, ce qui permet de coordonner les efforts intra et inter-entreprises dans l’intérêt, en général, des salariés.

      Enfin, quel que soit le pays, les salariés du domaine des jeux vidéo sont très peu syndiqués, la tendance étant à l’individualisation des situations qui profite habituellement à l’employeur, à en croire, notamment, les rarissimes mouvements sociaux de l’industrie en France.

    A highly unusual agreement means that workers may have an easier time forming unions at Activision Blizzard once Microsoft has finished its acquisition of the gaming giant.

    Activision Blizzard to Recognize and Begin Negotiations with CWA | Business Wire
    ▻https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20220610005115/en/Activision-Blizzard-to-Recognize-and-Begin-Negotiations-with-CWA

    I wanted to share the news that we will begin negotiations with the Communications Workers of America related to the 27 quality assurance employees at Raven Software, the majority of whom have chosen to be represented by this union. With the election having concluded, we will engage in good faith negotiations to enter into a collective bargaining agreement.

    A reminder that all the “major investments” that were made, were done as concessions from mounting employee pressure to try to stop unionization from occurring. Quality of life for employees improves through collective action.

    Activision staff organize as Microsoft takeover looms • The Register

    https://regmedia.co.uk/2022/02/09/shutterstock_microsoft_activision.jpg

    Firstly, QA workers at Raven Software – a studio based in Wisconsin that develops the popular first-person shooter series Call of Duty – successfully voted to officially unionize against parent biz Activision. Secondly, a former employee appealed Activision’s proposed $18 million settlement with America’s Equal Employment Opportunity Commission regarding claims of “sex-based discrimination” and “harassment” of female staff at the corporation.

    Activision (ATVI) Illegally Threatened Staff, US Labor Officials Find - Bloomberg
    ▻https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-05-23/activision-illegally-threatened-staff-us-labor-officials-find

    https://assets.bwbx.io/images/users/iqjWHBFdfxIU/ifB96_Cdfj88/v0/1200x606.jpg

    US labor board prosecutors determined that Activision Blizzard Inc. illegally threatened staff and enforced a social media policy that conflicts with workers’ rights, according to a government spokesperson. The finding is a setback for the company as it tries to fend off a unionization effort and finalize a $68.7 billion sale to Microsoft Corp.

    Nintendo hit with National Labor Relations Board complaint

    An unnamed worker is alleging that Nintendo, and a firm it uses for hiring contractors, violated their legally protected right to unionize, according to a new filing with the National Labor Relations Board.

    A union-busting complaint recently filed with the National Labor Relations Board accused Nintendo of America and contract worker agency Aston Carter of surveillance, retaliation, and other unfair labor practices. According to four sources familiar with the incident, that complaint, first reported by Axios, comes after a part-time employee spoke about unions in a business meeting and was later fired mid-contract. In an unprecedented move, others are now speaking up about feeling disrespected and exploited at the notoriously secretive Mario maker.

    Driving the news: Current and former Nintendo contractors have been speaking up over the past three weeks, since Axios first reported a complaint filed with the National Labor Relations Board against Nintendo and a contracting firm.

    Activision Blizzard is making over a thousand QA contractors full-time employees

    Activision Blizzard has announced that approximately 1,100 QA contractors are being converted to full-time roles, following a turbulent year that both saw contractors speaking out about poor working conditions at the company and a unionization push by QA workers at subsidiary studio Raven Software.

    According to an Activision Blizzard spokesperson, both Activision Publishing and Blizzard Entertainment are at the heart of this push. All QA contractors in the United States will be converted to full-time status, and the minimum hourly rate for these roles will be increased to $20/hour.

    Microsoft says it will respect outcome of Activision Blizzard union drive - The Washington Post
    ▻https://www.washingtonpost.com/video-games/2022/03/24/microsoft-activision-union-statement

    Microsoft “will not stand in the way” if Activision Blizzard recognizes a union, said the company’s corporate vice president and general counsel, Lisa Tanzi, in a statement to The Washington Post on Thursday.

    “Microsoft respects Activision Blizzard employees’ right to choose whether to be represented by a labor organization and we will honor those decisions,” Tanzi said.

    In January, Microsoft announced plans to acquire Activision Blizzard, the embattled video game publisher and developer, for nearly $69 billion in an all-cash deal. Fifteen workers at Raven Software, a studio owned by Activision Blizzard, signed a letter Wednesday calling for Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella to encourage Activision Blizzard to voluntarily recognize their union, the Game Workers Alliance. Microsoft vice chair and president Brad Smith was copied on the letter.

    Activision Blizzard doesn’t respond to Raven Software union recognition request by workers’ Tuesday deadline - The Washington Post
    ▻https://www.washingtonpost.com/video-games/2022/01/25/activision-blizzard-doesnt-respond-raven-software-union-recognition-

    Activision Blizzard did not respond to workers’ request for recognition of a union formed by quality assurance testers at Raven Software, the workers said Tuesday evening. Last week, 34 quality assurance workers seeking to unionize at Raven had set a deadline of 6 p.m. Eastern time Tuesday for a response from the software developer’s parent company and will now proceed to file for a union election with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).

    A current Blizzard employee of four years, Christine said she experienced the alleged “frat boy culture detrimental to women,” and that coworkers and supervisors made rude comments about her body, made unwanted sexual advances, and inappropriately touched her. She alleged that she was propositioned for sex from a supervisor; when she went to managers about it, they allegedly told her not to go to human resources. Christine said she was demoted after her complaint and continued to be harassed and retaliated against, including being denied her full profit-sharing.
