    The Activision Blizzard walkout continues for a fifth day today. This is the company's third walkout it's seen in five months and the first one to last multiple days. Workers demand the company reverse the layoffs of 12 Raven Software QA testers and make contractors full-time.

    Raven Software employees just won their union election, with 19 votes yes, 3 votes no. It's a significant vote, as the Game Workers Alliance will be one of the first blockbuster gaming unions in the United States.
