Microsoft recognises first labour union in US.

Workers at Microsoft's ZeniMax Studios have voted to form the tech giant's first labour union in the US.

Microsoft agreed to recognise the group after a "supermajority" of workers at the video game production company signalled support for the plan, said the Communications Workers of America (CWA) union.

ZeniMax owns popular games including The Elder Scrolls and Fallout.

It follows an uptick in unionisation efforts in the US.

Apple, Amazon and Google are among the other US companies that have seen labour fights in recent years, as workers demand more from employers amidst the rising cost of living.

Union campaigns have traditionally triggered sharp corporate opposition, said the CWA.
