Activision Blizzard will initiate negotiations with Raven Software’s QA testers union

Arriving here follows the announcement of layoffs late last year, which was followed by an employee walkout and a five-week strike. There was also the part where Activision Blizzard engaged in union-busting tactics, such as abruptly converting other testers in the company to full-time jobs with benefits and pay raises that the Raven testers did not receive, as well as spreading their roles across the company, which is just one small part of the employee backlash that has occurred within Activision Blizzard over the last year.
