Activists wrote on social media that they have filed an application with the Quebec Labor Board. If successful, their union will become part of the larger Communications Workers of America (CWA).
According to the developers, the union will help make Bethesda Game Studios Montreal a more comfortable place to work. Employees will have less worry about potential layoffs and other issues. All of this will have a positive impact on game development.
Microsoft has not publicly commented on Bethesda Game Studios Montreal's decision. In May, it promised the CWA not to interfere with employees of ZeniMax Media and its subsidiaries organizing unions.
