If @FTC approves the Microsoft/Activision merger w/ the labor agreement that we created to protect collective bargaining rights, it would send a game-changing message to corporations: Workers do have a seat at the table & their concerns must be addressed. thehill.com/opinion/technolo…

For once, the FTC is considering a merger that helps the workers
