Activision Blizzard
Quality Assurance testers at Activision Blizzard in Albany, N.Y.,
formerly Vicarious Visions, became the second group of Activision
Blizzard workers to form a union with CWA. On Tuesday, a supermajority
of the workers announced the formation of the Albany Game Workers
Alliance/CWA and filed for a union representation election with the
National Labor Relations Board after requesting voluntary recognition
last week.
Wise Connect (Lumen)
Technicians in Colorado who work for Wise Connect, a contractor for
Lumen, have been organizing for a union with CWA to fight for better
working conditions. The workers are facing various challenges
including low pay, unsafe working conditions, lack of supplies, and a
lack of dignity and respect on the job. They recently won an Unfair
Labor Practice (ULP) case which galvanized many of the workers to join
the organizing effort. The ULP charge was regarding unfair
surveillance and a veiled threat by the company to shut down the
contract if workers join the union. The technicians who are organizing
firmly believe that, by doing so, they can create a better environment
for themselves and provide a better path for future contract
technicians at Lumen.
