Activision Blizzard workers share demands to end gender inequity at the company

gamedeveloper.com:

The Worker Committee Against Sex & Gender Discrimination, an assembly of Activision Blizzard workers working to combat sex and gender discrimination at the publisher, has released a series of demands it is making of company leadership.

These demands follow a year of accusations against Activision Blizzard where the company was accused of fostering a culture of sexual harassment and abuse. Earlier this year, it settled a lawsuit with the U.S. Equal Employment and Opportunity Commission, but still faces a lawsuit from the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing.

The demands made by the Worker Committee represent a new roundup of the core issues workers allegedly face across the company's different branches. 

Many demands overlap with accusations made against the company by current and former employees as well as state regulators.

Here are the demands workers are making of Activision Blizzard:

The demands made by Activision Blizzard workers seem to be based on personal experiences at the company and contrast with Activision Blizzard's assessment that the company never knowingly tolerated harassment.

We should also note that the demands made by the Worker Committee include language calling for special processes in the event that a c-suite-ranked employee is accused of harassment. Previous investigations of Activision Blizzard by The Wall Street Journal have implicated CEO Bobby Kotick of allegedly participating in harassment and enabling misconduct.

It continues to speak volumes that the workers of Activision Blizzard, who are most familiar with how harassment and discrimination has allegedly manifested at the company, continue to speak out against management's efforts to resolve these issues.
