The Communications Workers of America (CWA), one of America’s largest unions, has filed Unfair Labour Practice charges against Microsoft supplier Lionbridge Technologies.
According to the CWA, Lionbridge laid off the entirety of an Idaho-based team, equating to 160 people, after they engaged in union-related activity. This team, the CWA said, provided QA testing for Activision.
In addition, the CWA stated Lionbridge had offered workers a severance package which “required them to agree to overly broad confidentiality terms and to waive rights protected under the National Labor Relations Act”. The CWA says the US National Labor Relations Board has ruled this practise to be unlawful.
