Video game maker Activision-Blizzard’s attempts to stop a second group of quality assurance employees for unionizing has been slapped down by the National Labor Relations Board, clearing the way for an organizing vote at the company’s Albany, New York offices.<\/p>\n

The NLRB had already given Albany QA workers the go-ahead to unionize in October, but the biz quickly filed an appeal, arguing that quality assurance testers were too integrated into other groups to be considered an independent bargaining unit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If that sounds familiar, that’s because it’s very similar to the same line of reasoning<\/a> that Activision-Blizzard tried when QA employees at its Raven Software subsidiary tried organizing earlier this year. QA folks are integrated, and there aren’t many of them. Therefore, giving them a union would disadvantage other employees.<\/p>\n
