They could have prevented this by wearing hazmat suits to avoid being ionized in the first place.

In before next week's article that the Montreal office is permanently closed and all workers let go.

"It has become clear to us that the increasing costs of maintaining a Canadian based workforce is beyond the scope of our current fiscal goals, It is with a heavy heart that we will be closing our Montreal office effective immediately. We thank all of our former employees for their service and wish them all a safe and lucrative departure from our team"

Do it!!!

Excellent, first the workers at Activision immediately jump on the neutrality agreement, and now a second group of Zenimax workers are immediately testing their neutrality too. Gotta love it. It certainly feels weird that the biggest company in the world is labor neutral

What, in this context, does "neutrality" mean?

[-] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

Sorry, I sometimes forget that other folks aren't as close to this as I am. Microsoft signed a legally binding card check labor neutrality agreement with the Communications Workers of America, an international union serving the US and Canada. Under the terms of the agreement, all management must remain neutral in regards to unionizing and must direct questions about unions to worker organizers. Additionally the neutrality agreement also means that when workers petition for recognition, the company will voluntarily recognize the union after a 2 week card check vote (union authorization card signatures and direct yes votes together count for yes)

Good for them.

Quebec unions are really powerful. This would be awesome
