Blizzard's Story and Franchise Development Team Voted to Unionize


Blizzard's Story and Franchise Development team has formed a union in another step towards making working conditions in the industry better.

The Story and Franchise Development team (SFD) at Blizzard has formed a union with the Communications Workers of America. It’s a great step in the continued push to create better working conditions for people in the games industry. As the CWA explained, “These workers will be the first in-house cinematic, animation, and narrative studio to form a union in the North American game industry, joining nearly 3,000 workers at Microsoft-owned studios who have organized with CWA to build better standards across the video game industry after Microsoft acquired Activision Blizzard in 2023.”
