ZeniMax union "overwhelmingly" votes to authorise strike if Microsoft contract negotiations drag on

Members of the ZeniMax Workers United union – which is made up of more than 300 quality assurance workers across ZeniMax Studios – has “overwhelmingly” voted to authorise union leadership to call for a strike if no resolution is reached following two years of unsuccessful contract negotiations with Microsoft.

However, that action could potentially escalate now more than 94 percent of ZeniMax Workers United members have voted to authorise union leadership to call for a strike if contract negotiations fail to reach a resolution.

ZeniMax Workers United, which is part of the Communications Workers of America (CWA), became the first union ever to be voluntarily recognised by Microsoft in 2023.
