Labor Union Recognized at 1 ZeniMax Studios by Tech Giant Microsoft

Employees at Microsoft’s ZeniMax Studios successfully voted to form the tech giant’s first union in the United States. The Microsoft-approved union was supported by an “overwhelming majority” of ZeniMax workers, according to the Communications Workers of America (CWA) union. Popular games like The Elder Scrolls and Fallout are produced by ZeniMax Studios, a video game development studio. Following a pattern of stepped-up unionization efforts in the US tech sector, ZeniMax decided to unionize.

Other companies such as Apple, Amazon, and Google have also faced industrial action and union organizing efforts in recent years as workers demand more from employers as the cost of living rises.

It is yet to be seen how the company’s future interactions with its employees will be impacted by the existence of a union.

In ZeniMax

Microsoft has recognized the WashTech (WashTech) Washington Alliance as the first alliance of one of the US studios, ZeniMax.

WashTech, which is affiliated with the Communications Workers of America (CWA), represents around 300 quality assurance workers at ZeniMax’s offices in Maryland and Texas.

Furthermore, the union will allow collective bargaining over issues such as pay and working conditions and aims to improve job opportunities and reduce overwork and unfair pay practices.

By voluntarily agreeing to bargain with unionized employees, Microsoft avoids a formal process overseen by the National Labor Relations Board, which can often lead to legal battles.

The CWA has also been involved in unionization efforts at gaming company Activision Blizzard, which has resisted the campaigns. Last year, Microsoft announced a deal to acquire Activision Blizzard, which prompted the government to sue to block the deal over competition concerns.

As part of its efforts to win support for the merger, Microsoft struck a pact with the CWA to remain neutral in labor disputes. It is still being determined how the new union at ZeniMax will affect Microsoft’s operations.

“We look forward to engaging in good faith negotiations as we work towards a collective bargaining agreement,” the spokesperson stated. Read More….

Cash App Founder Killed in San Francisco Stabbing – San Francisco California reporting

Bay Area tech executive Bob Lee was killed in a stabbing in San Francisco, sources tell NBC Bay Area.

– MobileCoin CEO Josh Goldbar provided the following statement Wednesday:

Our dear friend and colleague, Bob Lee passed away yesterday at the age of 43, survived by a loving family and collection of close friends and collaborators.

Bob was a dynamo, a force of nature. Bob was the genuine article. He was made for the world that is being born right now, he was a child of dreams, and whatever he imagined, no matter how crazy, he made real.

Bob was made for the new world, he was the quintessential creator, leader, and consummate hacker. From large contributions to Android at google, to being the first CTO of Square, in that time creating CashApp, and working with us here at Mobilecoin, Bob surely had an impact that will last far beyond his short time on earth.

This may sound impressive, but Bob’s real resume is the hearts and minds he touched in his time on earth. Bob’s legacy is the feeling that you can make a difference if you try, and of course his amazing children.
