EA Employees and Union Protest $55 Billion Saudi-Backed Acquisition

Summary

EA employees and the Communications Workers of America union are protesting against a proposed $55 billion private acquisition of Electronic Arts by Saudi-backed investors. The union claims workers were not represented in negotiations and argues that any resulting job losses would be a choice to benefit investors rather than a business necessity. The acquisition was announced in late September, and the union has formally petitioned regulators to intervene.
