Microsoft and the Communication Workers of America union have agreed to a neutrality pact, where Microsoft's employees can decide without hurdles whether they want to support a union or not. The CWA had previously been opposed to Microsoft's plan to purchase Activision Blizzard, which had recently started collective bargaining negotiations with workers who had voted to join a union. Microsoft announced earlier this month it would not oppose efforts at union organizing, a decision noteworthy for its supportiveness, coming at a time when union activism has been surging at other companies.
