Blizzard's Story Team Has Voted To Unionize

Here is a 182-word summary of the news article: Blizzard's Story and Franchise Development (SFD) team has voted to unionize and join the Communications Workers of America (CWA) in Orange County, California. This marks the third unionization vote at Blizzard in the past year, following the World of Warcraft developers and the Overwatch 2 team also voting to join CWA. One of the SFD union organizers, Buddy Fisk, cited the frequent layoffs in the video game industry as a driving factor behind the decision. Fisk stated that while Blizzard was once a place where people could build long careers, that stability has been fading. The union will aim to preserve Blizzard's positive attributes and ensure fair policies for all employees. The news comes amid recent changes at Blizzard, including layoffs that impacted the Warcraft Rumble mobile game team, the departure of Diablo general manager Rod Fergusson, and hints of more TV and movie adaptations of Blizzard franchises. Overall, the unionization reflects employees' desire for greater transparency and job security within the company.
