Microsoft, currently looking to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for approval on a $68.7 purchase of Activision Blizzard, appears to be taking a different approach: neutrality.
First, Microsoft will take a neutral approach when employees covered by the agreement express interest in joining a union.
At the very least, it will make the pathway to unionization a bit easier for Activision Blizzard workers under Microsoft, and could be used to help Microsoft workers reach their own deals.
It’s building off a promise Microsoft made last week — that it won’t interfere Raven Software’s new union.
