ZeniMax QA Workers Strike Against Microsoft Over Outsourcing and Office Mandates

Hundreds of unionized workers from ZeniMax, a subsidiary of Microsoft, are striking for a day to protest the company's alleged lack of bargaining over remote work and outsourcing quality assurance jobs without union consultation. This action follows a recent unfair labor practice charge filed by the Communications Workers of America Union against ZeniMax. The strike highlights tensions within Microsoft's gaming division, which has faced significant layoffs despite recent acquisitions and claims of a healthy business outlook by Xbox head Phil Spencer.
