The legendary gaming studio and Call of Duty Publisher has now been criticized for penalizing workers who disclose their workplace circumstances, which amounts to a violation of their statutory rights. In a recent appeal to the National Labor Relations Board, the Communication Employees of America say that an employee was intimidated for discussing information concerning the continuing litigation with their colleagues.

Despite stakeholder approval of the acquisition with Microsoft, the corporation remains to endure accusations of employees right violations. A French court previously found that workers were unfairly dismissed and authorized them to pursue six months’ pay in recompense.

“The above-named company has warned workers via a supervisor that they must not communicate matters relating to salaries, duties, and workplace circumstances on Slack,” states the complete lawsuit from the CWA.

Not Their First Rodeo

Employees at Raven Software have decided to petition to create a collective, notwithstanding the company’s evident efforts to keep them from debating their circumstances. After Activision Blizzard declined to formally acknowledge the group in January, the voting began last week.
