Video game testers at Activision Blizzard Inc voted on Monday to form a union with the Communications Workers of America in a first for a US-listed game company.

Nineteen quality assurance testers at subsidiary Raven Software, who assess the performance of games in the lucrative Call Of Duty series, voted for legal recognition of the union they’d first organised in January. Three voted against.
