A New Model for Labor in the Games Industry: Blizzard Employees Unionize The recent ratification of union contracts by Blizzard employees marks one of the first major labor agreements in the games industry.
The Communications Workers of America (CWA) represents approximately 1,900 workers at Blizzard Entertainment, including those from various game teams such as World of Warcraft and Overwatch.
This collective bargaining effort has been ongoing for about two years, with workers pushing for improved working conditions, job security, and more equitable compensation.
