Bloomberg<\/a>, the workers participating said their goal is to “improve conditions for employees at the company, especially women, and in particular women of color and transgender women, nonbinary people, and other marginalized groups.”<\/p> This includes demands to remove mandatory arbitration clauses “in all employee contracts, current and future,” as well as new practices for recruiting, hiring, and promotion that facilitate better representation agreed upon by the employees in a company-wide Diversity, Equity & Inclusion organization.<\/p>
They also demand the publication of data on relative compensation, promotion rates, and salary range for employees of all genders and ethnicities at the company, and that a diversity task force be allowed to bring in a third party to audit the company’s leadership, hierarchy, and HR department.<\/p>
Organizers also told Polygon<\/a> that they ask supporters to donate to various charities, including Black Girls Code, Futures Without Violence, Girls Who Code, RAINN, Women in Animation, and Women in Games International, as well as use the hashtag “#ActiBlizzWalkout” online.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":808,"featured_media":275925,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"article_type":"","gamurs_wordpress_blocks_hide_tags":false,"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"\"\"","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[373,19503,355,86],"internal-label":[],"invoiceable_action":[],"article_type":[],"coauthors":[{"id":808,"display_name":"Eric
