The “overwhelming majority” of employees of the developer studio of the battle royale Spellbreak advocated the creation of their own trade union. They announced that they would organize it in partnership with the United States Communications Workers Union (CWA).
Proletariat said that they began discussing the launch of the union immediately after they learned about Activision Blizzard‘s plans to buy the studio (approx. Proletariat joined the publisher at the end of June 2022). Now the developers are asking the company’s management to voluntarily recognize their association.
Activision Blizzard, in a comment to the media, announced that it had received a Proletariat application. The company will give an official response on it in the coming days.
