Workers’ unions have recently emerged in the different business systems, associations that are formed when injustices are perceived on the part of the high command. This has recently happened with the studies in charge of some games of call of duty and now, ZeniMax Studiosare doing the same, specifically 300 employees who join Communications Workers of America.
The most curious thing is that the owners of ZeniMax, Microsofthave not opposed this decision, so they are free to join these unions.
This is what he mentioned Christopher SheltonPresident of C.W.A.:

They also created a twitter account dedicated to the rights of ZeniMaxThis is what they posted:
QA workers at ZeniMax are extremely passionate about our work and the games we make. Having a seat at the table will ensure we receive fair compensation for the work that we do. A union on the job will protect us and make sure our passion isn’t taken for granted.

editor’s note: Undoubtedly, this type of unions will continue to emerge as long as injustices are present. So it is likely that more studies will be encouraged to raise their voices against practices such as crunching.
