Proletariat, Another Activision Blizzard Studio, Seeks to Unionize
Summary
Proletariat, an Activision Blizzard studio that currently handles the World of Warcraft development pipeline, has started to organize a union with the Communication Workers of America. The Raven Software and Blizzard Albany unionization efforts focused on QA Testing workers. By forming a union and negotiating a contract, we can make sure that we are able to continue doing our best work and create innovative experiences at the frontier of game development. The group also seeks to codify professional development opportunities and diversity, equity, and inclusion policies. Additionally, it seeks to tamp down on any alleged expectation that overtime is “mandatory” to create a “transparent” process to report misconduct and improve communication about compensation.
