QA workers at ZeniMax have voted to form a union.
announced today that a"supermajority" of quality assurance workers at ZeniMax Studios have officially voted to join the ZeniMax Workers United/CWA, forming the first videogame studio union at parent company Microsoft and what will be—for a while, at least—the largest union of videogame workers in the US.
The official voting period ran from December 2 to December 31, but the CWA said union organizing efforts have been underway at ZeniMax for"months," and that some employees began signing union authorization cards in November."We’re thrilled to kick off 2023 in a workplace that’s stronger and more equitable than it was last year," senior QA tester Skylar Hinnant said.
"It's difficult to express in words just how much winning our union matters to us," senior QA tester Dylan Burton said."We've been working so hard to get here that it would be impossible not to be excited. We know this is not the end of our hard work, but reaching this milestone gives us faith that when workers stand together, we can accomplish anything we set our minds to.
CWA president Chris Shelton was critical of other game studios and tech company that choose to"attack, undermine, and demoralize" employees to try to form unions, but paid tribute to Microsoft for"charting a different course which will strengthen its corporate culture and ability to serve its customers.
