"Within the last six months [Activision Blizzard] has repeatedly engaged in unlawful conduct by threatening employees in the exercise of the rights guaranteed by Section 7 [of the National Labor Relations Act]."

NLRB Charging Document filed on behalf of "A Better ABK" - September 10, 2021

***

A Better ABK, the group of Activision Blizzard employees who earlier set forth a list of demands of the game publisher and further helped organize this summer's walkout, has joined forces with the Communications Workers of America (AFL-CIO) union, to formally charge Activision Blizzard with violating the National Labor Relations Act.

What is Activision Blizzard accused of doing? In what way are A Better ABK's arguments strong (and how are they weak)? And why is any description of the matter as a lawsuit, almost entirely wrong.

It's time to dive into labor relations...in Virtual Legality.
