Albany-based Blizzard’s Albany Diablo testers won the right to form a guild.

Their petition to the US National Labor Relations Board was accepted last month, paving the way for a vote by employees to formalize the process. Ballot papers have been distributed and the result of the poll is scheduled to be announced on November 18.

Activision Blizzard has previously argued against going forward with the process, claiming that it must have been a decision made by a larger group of employees at the Albany studio rather than its own testing team. In the end, he opposed the NLRB.
