A group of Activision Blizzard Inc. video-game employees in Boston said Tuesday they’re organizing a union with the Communications Workers of America.

The 57-person Proletariat unit that filed for union representation includes designers, animators, engineers, producers and quality assurance workers, according to a statement. Should the effort succeed, it would be the first gaming union at Activision comprising workers outside of quality assurance, who test video games for bugs and performance and are widely considered underpaid across the industry.
