Union of 461 workers has been recognised by Microsoft

Union says it plans to "raise the anti-competitive impacts of Sony's increasing monopoly [...] with regulators, policymakers, and stakeholders"

CWA includes workers at "Activision, Bethesda, Blizzard, SEGA, Tender Claws, and ZeniMax"

Communications Workers of America hails group as the "first wall-to-wall union at a Microsoft video game studio"

Microsoft is now legally bound to take a neutral approach to the unionisation of employees at ZeniMax

"Microsoft remains steadfast in our support of our current and future employees in whatever choice they make about their workplace and their representatives," Brad Smith says

Update: CWA decries discharge as "retaliation," says Activision treats employees like "disposable workhorses"
