Activision Blizzard Inc seems to be embroiled in controversies in recent times given the slew of lawsuits being filed against the company. In July, the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (CDFEH) filed a class-action lawsuit<\/a> against the company for “injunctive and monetary relief and damages” after it was alleged to foster a “frat boy” workplace culture<\/a>, in which female and marginalized employees were being the targets of harassment and discrimination.<\/p>\n A month later, Activision Blizzard was hit with another lawsuit<\/a> after allegedly issuing “materially false and misleading” statements to investors, by failing to disclose all of its legal matters. In addition to this, the company has also been accused of stifling the CDFEH lawsuit investigation by shredding documents<\/a>. Now, a union group representing Activision Blizzard employees have filed a federal labour board complaint against the company, which accuses the company of “violating federal labour law through coercive rules, actions and statements.”<\/p>\nActivision Blizzard staff file complaints over labour law violations<\/h2>\n
