The $18 Million Blizzard Settlement Faces Backlash From Unionized Workers
Following news that Activision Blizzard plans to settle the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s (EEOC) complaint for just $18 million, workers at a labor union say it doesn’t do enough to curb “corporate bad actors.”
Today the Campaign to Organize Digital Employees, a project by the Communication Workers of America labor union, released a brief statement regarding Activision Blizzard’s proposed plans to settle the EEOC lawsuit, the existence of which was just revealed on Monday. In a tweet, the CODE-CWA called the payout “a slap in the face to workers [who have] dealt with toxic working conditions for [years].”
