Judge likely to approve $18 million Activision Blizzard sexual harassment suit settlement

The $18 million settlement with the EEOC would be the second largest sexual harassment settlement the agency has ever negotiated. But to critics of the settlement, including the DFEH, a significant number of Activision Blizzard workers and their ally, media labor union Communications Workers of America (CWA), that sum is insufficient for potentially hundreds or more victims. In a letter addressed to the EEOC on Oct. 6, the CWA called $18 million "woefully inadequate" and said Activision Blizzard employees and the CWA had "grave concerns" over the settlement agreement.
