"The union will represent a wide variety of disciplines across Blizzard Entertainment including designers, engineers, artists, and support staff. A Diablo game producer and organizing committing member said that the mass layoffs at Microsoft were a major factor in rallying the unionization drive. "With every subsequent round of mass layoffs, I've witnessed the dread in my coworkers grow stronger because it feels like no amount of hard work is enough to protect us," they said. "This is just the first step for us joining a movement spreading across an industry that is tired of living in fear.""

Love to see it, every single developer under Microsoft needs to unionise, it won't stop the firings but they can make it as painful as possible for Microsoft and maybe make them think twice about certain ones.
