    Seems like a win for labor, but im sure Microsoft gets theirs in the end still

    Still, a great sign of the times and good things ahead for the workers!

      It makes sense for a company that has such incredibly deep pockets to not put up much of a fight when their workforce wants better benefits and a small raise. Microsoft seems to be relatively unique among publicly traded companies in generating goodwill by not treating workers seeking to unionize horribly

      I think taking a more friendly position towards unions was also part of Microsoft’s strategy to win regulatory approval of its acquisition of ZeniMax.
