ZeniMax Workers United represents over 300 QA employees who work onBethesda Softworksgames likeFalloutandStarfield.
“We understand that outsourcing has a place in testing and development.
ZeniMax QA employees who have worked on games like Starfield are going on strike for a day.
The issue is that Microsoft is taking action without notice or negotiation with our union.
They are also effectively replacing in-house QA work with outsourced work,” ZeniMax Workers United says.
The months following this agreement first saw unionization with ZeniMax QA workers,then at Activision.
Following ZeniMax QA’s lead, all of Bethesda Game Studios is now unionized.
Naturally, all of these unions under Microsoft Gaming are coordinating and assisting each other where possible.
“Negotiations are progressing and ongoing in good faith,” the union says.
“However, when it comes to these key issues, we are running into massive roadblocks.”
