One of the most popular booths at this year’s Game Developers Conference in San Francisco belonged to a labor union, the Communications Workers of America.

Last week, CWA organizers and unionizing Activision-Blizzard employees talked to scores of workers about unionizing, handed out free union merchandise, including a mouse pad with a slide from Activision’s law firm that said employees who want to unionize are “lazy” and “non-productive,” and let passersby play a pro-union arcade game. Workers also gathered at an off-site CWA workshop on organizing basics and building solidarity in the games industry.
