In 2021, a grand total of 90 QA workers went on strike at Activision Blizzard for 6 weeks. There are 1100 people in QA across the company. Over 400 QA testers worked on Warzone at the time. During the strike, several major issues that normally would never make it to live, went live. We’re talking placeholder art, broken optics, invisible operators, and many more severe issues. The numbers might seem insignificant, but it never is.
It’s 1000 out of about 70,000 actually. Because it’s the UK you need to look at how many people they employ in the UK. This is because Amazon UK can change its working conditions without the need for the rest of Amazon to.
Once Amazon UK have improved their working conditions, pay and benefits people in other countries may say “well, how come Amazon UK staff have better benefits than we do. Maybe we should do something about it”

Funny how businesses always think you’re replaceable or even irrelevant until you stop showing up to work.
