The Communications Workers of America union has filed a complaint with the U.S. National Labor Relations Board accusing Activision Blizzard (ATVI) of illegally firing two video game testers for using "strong language" in protest of a new company policy that limits remote work, Reuters’ Daniel Wiessner reports.

Microsoft (MSFT) is aiming to acquire Activision Blizzard, the author also notes. Reference Link
