Quality assurance workers across Bethesda and ZeniMax studios have overwhelmingly voted to form a union with the Communications Workers of America, making ZeniMax Workers United the largest certified video game union in the US and the first official bargaining unit within Microsoft.
In a press release, senior QA audio tester Victoria Banos said the union of around 300 employees seeks to put an end to sudden periods of crunch, unfair pay, and lack of growth opportunities at the company.
Happy New Year! We won our union!

“Our union will push for truly competitive pay, better communication between management and workers, a clear path for those that want to progress their career, and more,” Banos said.
