Microsoft and the Communications Workers of America on Monday announced a neutrality pact designed to allow the firm's employees to decide without interference whether or not they wish to form a union.

Why it matters: The CWA, which had expressed concerns about Microsoft's plan to buy Activision Blizzard, now supports the deal.
What they're saying: "Microsoft has now given those employees a seat at the table," CWA president Christopher Shelton told Axios. "They’ve pulled out a chair and said you can sit down or not sit down."

• "Every aspect of success in technology comes from employees," Microsoft President Brad Smith told Axios. "This is an agreement grounded in respect for employees."

Catch up quick: Microsoft announced earlier this month that it would not oppose efforts by its workers to form unions and announced a series of principles that would guide its work with organized labor.

• Shelton said that he is glad to have an agreement in writing, in addition to Microsoft's pledge. "Lots of companies make lots of agreements," he said. "Nine times out of 10 they are empty promises."

One big opposition imo down
