About 300 quality assurance (Qa) workers at The Elder Scrolls Online: High Isle developer are attempting to join the Communications Workers of America (Cwa), the union announced on Monday. The workers are based at company sites in Hunt Valley and Rockville, Maryland and Austin and Dallas, Texas. Per the Cwa, Microsoft has agreed to voluntarily recognize the union if a majority of the ZeniMax Studios workers vote to join in a card count.
