Microsoft and the Communications Workers of America on Monday announced a neutrality pact designed to allow the firm's employees to decide without interference whether or not they wish to form a union.
Why it matters: The CWA, which had expressed concerns about Microsoft's plan to buy Activision Blizzard, now supports the deal.
What they're saying: "Microsoft has now given those employees a seat at the table," CWA president Christopher Shelton told Axios. "They've pulled out a chair and said you can sit down or not sit down."
