   Quality Assurance testers at Activision Blizzard in Albany, N.Y.,   
   formerly Vicarious Visions, became the second group of Activision   
   Blizzard workers to form a union with CWA. On Tuesday, a supermajority   
   of the workers announced the formation of the Albany Game Workers   
   Alliance/CWA and filed for a union representation election with the   
   National Labor Relations Board after requesting voluntary recognition   
   last week.   
      
   Wise Connect (Lumen)   
      
   Technicians in Colorado who work for Wise Connect, a contractor for   
   Lumen, have been organizing for a union with CWA to fight for better   
   working conditions. The workers are facing various challenges   
   including low pay, unsafe working conditions, lack of supplies, and a   
   lack of dignity and respect on the job. They recently won an Unfair   
   Labor Practice (ULP) case which galvanized many of the workers to join   
   the organizing effort. The ULP charge was regarding unfair   
   surveillance and a veiled threat by the company to shut down the   
   contract if workers join the union. The technicians who are organizing   
   firmly believe that, by doing so, they can create a better environment   
   for themselves and provide a better path for future contract   
   technicians at Lumen.
