Microsoft reaches agreement to remain neutral in Activision Blizzard union efforts
CNN
Microsoft on Monday announced it has entered into a labor neutrality agreement with Communications Workers of America (CWA), the union that has been supporting Activision Blizzard employees in their organizing efforts.
The agreement, unusual in the tech industry, has the potential to ease the path for workers at Activision Blizzard (ATVI) to unionize once Microsoft (MSFT) completes its blockbuster $68.7 billion deal to acquire the video game company. The deal is expected to close by next year.
