""The Communication Workers of America has announced that a \"majority of video game developers\" for the Hearthstone team have decided to unionize.

Around the same time, Microsoft announced mass layoffs that included a reported 100 Blizzard workers.""
Hearthstone development staff at Blizzard have unionized, with more than 100 employees joining the Communication Workers of America. The group includes developers who worked on Warcraft Rumble, which entered life‑support mode in July, and follows Microsoft layoffs that reportedly affected about 100 Blizzard workers. Organizers cited needs for layoff protections, security for remote workers, and reduced wage gaps as reasons for unionization. Microsoft has recognized the union. Earlier union drives from the World of Warcraft and Diablo teams contributed to over 1,900 Blizzard employees now in the union. Hearthstone will launch the Across the Timeways expansion on November 4 with 145 new cards and time travel.
