A June labor complaint filed to the NLRB claimed that Activision Blizzard discriminated and retaliated against current and former quality assurance testers for their union activity in various ways, including laying off 12 quality assurance testers, reorganizing the studio to remove the quality assurance department, withholding benefits and soliciting grievances. The NLRB also found that the company asked workers to air grievances while they were awaiting a union vote back in May. It is still investigating other parts of the complaint.

The recent National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) decision that effectively reinstated the Obama era's over-reaching joint employer regulation is a perfect example of how the left plays by its own set of rules. The joint employer rule made headlines in 2015 when the NLRB, under President Obama, rewrote the definition of what the government considered a "joint employer." Traditionally, a joint employer was an employer who shared direct control over an employee's workplace or employment with another employer. The idea was that since all employers shared and exercised similar and immediate control over employees, all should be responsible for making sure the employees had safe and reasonable working conditions. It also meant all joint employers were responsible for mistakes or bad behavior at their businesses.
