Bargaining has finally begun between 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Activision and Game Workers Alliance (GWA), the union formed by Raven Software’s QA team 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:after a successful vote ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚthat was held back in May. Activision did pretty much everything it could to disrupt GWA’s union plans, including withholding raises given to the rest of Raven Software and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:delaying negotiations for six months.The opening salvos of negotiations began with .

Activision initially refused to bargain at all during work hours unless the GWA paid for the missed time of workers. The union "gladly did in order to attempt to get the Company to bargain in good faith," but "good faith" are two words that don’t seem to exist in Activision’s vocabulary. Activis൩ion refused, deferred, or outright ignored every proposal the GWA made.
"Although the Company’s continued intransigence is unwelcome at the bargaining table," wrote the GW𝕴A, "the Bargaining Committee is confident that through our continued solidarity, mobilization, bargaining, as well as the Company’s illegal bargaining posture, we will prevail."
