Summary
unionised workers at ZeniMax, the parent company of Fallout, Doom and Elder Scrolls publisher Bethesda, could go on strike over working conditions and pay.
The potential strike action would affect around 300 workers and comes after almost two years of negotiations between workers and Microsoft over remote work options and outsourcing of game testing.
Last year, the ZeniMax Workers United (ZWU) union participated in a one-day strike, claiming that Microsoft had not adequately addressed these issues.
