Bethesda QA union authorizes strike against Microsoft

ZeniMax Workers United, the union representing hundreds of ZeniMax Media quality assurance (QA) testers on Bethesda Softworks games, voted to authorize a strike as negotiations with Microsoft continue.

Over 94% of union members voted to authorize a call for a strike, per a press release shared on Tuesday. The union is continuing to bargain with Microsoft for better pay and remote work, as well as end to a lack of notification around outsourced work that goes around the union.
