Activision Blizzard employees plan to participate in another walkout next week. This news comes from the Twitter user @ABetterABKan account dedicated to the ABK Workers Alliance that seeks to generate changes and improvements within the Activision Blizzard company.
in a post, @ABetterABK states that employees will strike on Monday, April 4 at 10am PST in protest of Activision Blizzard’s decision to remove vaccination mandates at the company. The Twitter thread further discusses a list of demands made by the ABK Workers Alliance:
- An immediate reversal of the now reduced vaccine requirement.
- Telecommuting as a permanent option for employees.
- That the decision of remote or office work remains solely in the hands of the employees themselves.
The decision to eliminate vaccines is also being put into practice with the termination of other COVID-19 precautions, such as the wearing of masks and social distancing mandates.
Brian Bulatao, in a sentence, has elaborated further on its leaked statement, saying the company is allowing staff to operate under a voluntary return-to-office policy and each of the three organizations is free to enforce their own individual vaccine mandates as needed.
Activision Blizzard has been involved in several staff protests and walkouts in recent months, the biggest of which was a series of workplace sexual harassment complaints and filings that sent the company’s stock plummeting.
