Microsoft Corp. is converting a group of subcontracted temps into unionized employees, bucking an industry trend and expanding organized labor’s new foothold at the software giant.
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
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!

Also all their accessibility stuff
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.
