guardrails around AI usage

reinforce several workplace benefits that set industry-wide standards for video game workers in the

wage increases,

grievance procedures

a three-day in-office hybrid workweek

“just cause” protections

remote work

disability accommodations

the contracts now require Blizzard to discuss, evaluate, and bargain over the usage of artificial intelligence in the workplace

give workers the right to be “recalled” into open positions across any Blizzard bargaining unit for 14 months from the date of their layoff announcement

an extra 4 weeks of severance for union workers regardless of their tenure

Fuck ya

"disability accommodations"

Glad to see my industry slowly figuring out how to get out of the 1900s
