In the four-day hearing with the NLRB that ended Tuesday, Activision Blizzard and the workers argued over whether workers should be allowed to form a so-called "micro union" of several dozen employees inside the quality assurance department. Shortly after the department announced its intentions to unionize, Activision Blizzard announced the testers would be redistributed around the company and embedded into different departments, a fact Baldwin noted in her letter. The company also argued that all Raven employees should be allowed to vote on unionization. A larger group would require more employee votes in order to unionize, whereas the testers had already reached the needed majority of votes within their department.

Employees and shareholders of Southern California-based video-game holding company Activision Blizzard (ATVI) have called for the resignation of CEO Bobby Kotick after a Wall Street Journal report Tuesday revealed he was aware of sexual misconduct allegations but did not inform the board of directors. "In contrast to past company statements, CEO Bobby Kotick was aware of many incidents of sexual harassment, sexual assault, and gender discrimination at Activision Blizzard, but failed either to ensure that the executives and managers responsible were terminated or to recognize and address the systematic nature of the company's hostile workplace culture," read a letter from shareholders to the board of directors and provided to the Washington Post. After the Journal's report, over 100 Activision Blizzard employees staged a walkout. Along with Kotick, long-time directors Robert Morgado and chairman of the board Brian Kelly were also called on to resign. Kotick disputed the Journal's report and would later share a video message to employees that called for a zero-tolerance policy.
