Microsoft on Labor Principles: Unions, Privacy, and Communication

Vice Chair and President Brad Smith said that they plan to commit to their labor principles and "innovative approach to union partnerships."

"We affirm our commitment to our labor principles and innovative approach to union partnerships.  Microsoft remains steadfast in our support of our current and future employees in whatever choice they make about their workplace and their representatives.  We look forward to meeting, listening to and learning from our new Activision Blizzard employees and continuing our collaborative engagement with CWA and the workers it represents," wrote Smith. 

The labor neutrality agreement was revealed back in June 2022, and it is planned to be launched 60 days after the Activision Blizzard acquisition. Microsoft claims they will respect employees' choice to unionize, maintain their privacy, facilitate their right to communicate, and more.
