ABK Workers Alliance announce work stoppage and strike fund as calls come for Bobby Kotick to step down as Activision Blizzard CEO and leave Coca-Cola Board of Directors.
). The fundraiser page outlines employee grievances focused on a misogynistic and discriminatory workplace rife with sexual misconduct:
In June 2020, an article was published which highlighted the abuse, harassment and discrimination that occurred within Activision-Blizzard’s offices. Since then, Activision-Blizzard leaders have continually abused, union-busted, and remained apathetic to the wishes of workers. In the months since, we’ve seen CEO Bobby Kotick and the Board of Directors protect abusers and only hold perpetrators accountable after the events were brought to light by outside media. We’ve seen Activision hire law firm WilmerHale, known for union busting, to disrupt and impede the improvement efforts of Activision-Blizzard workers.
After everything, the Board of Directors still claims to remain confident in Kotick’s unfit and unproductive leadership. The Board of Directors includes: Reveta Bowers, Robert Corti, Hendrik Hartong III, Brian Kelly, Bobby Kotick, Barry Meyer, Robert Morgado, Peter Nolan, Dawn Ostroff, Casey Wasserman.
The announcement goes on to list a timeline of events from July to September this year showing Activision Blizzard’s inadequate response to worker concerns.after helping organize the walkouts in the fall and earlier this year because CEO Bobby Kotick has refused to step down.
