Bloomberg reported today that Activision Blizzard, the Santa Monica-based gaming company behind hits like Call of Duty, will transform 1,100 temporary or contract quality assurance workers to full-time employees. These actions come after the company has faced years of criticism for exploiting its part-time labor force.
Last December Raven Software, the studio behind Call of Duty owned by Activision, attempted to unionize after 500 temporary roles were turned full time, ending 20 contracts. That Activision would not recognize this workers’ union prompted the National Labor Relations Board to get involved. The case was heard in February but a ruling has not yet been issued.
