The members of ZeniMax Workers United-CWA, one of the largest video game unions in the United States, have gone on strike. The action involves workers in ZeniMax offices in Texas and Maryland, who do quality assurance work for games including Fallout and Elder Scrolls. Workers are striking over claims that ZeniMax leadership has failed to address employee issues regarding remote work and outsourcing. “Today, we are on strike,” ZeniMax Workers United posted on X.
In October of this year, Activision Quality Assurance United held a rally outside their offices in Texas, California, and Minnesota to protest Microsoft’s restrictive return-to-office policy that, according to workers, failed to accommodate workers with medical issues or doctor recommendations.
