Chuck talks with Allen Junge, Kate Anderson, and Emmi Cohen of the Activision Blizzard King (ABK) Workers Alliance about how video game workers are unionizing and organizing for a better work environment!  Acivision-Blizzard is one of the largest video game publishers in the world and is the publisher for games like Call of Duty, Guitar Hero, Crash Bandicoot, and more.  The ABK Workers Alliance is a group of organized workers from video game company Activision Blizzard. Formed in response to a July 2021 state lawsuit against the company for harassment and discriminatory work practices, the worker advocacy group A Better ABK organized walkouts and demonstrations against the company's policy and practices. The quality assurance workers of subsidiary Raven Software went on strike in December after part of the team was fired. The striking workers announced their union as the Game Workers Alliance in late January 2022 and offered to end the strike pending their union's recognition.
