Activision Wins Approval of $18 Million EEOC Settlement over California’s Objections
“Activision Blizzard — maker of the Call of Duty and World of Warcraft video games — won a federal judge’s approval Tuesday of a $18 million settlement with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission over allegations of sexual harassment and discrimination in its workplace,” reports Edvard Pettersson in Court House News Service.
“U.S. District Judge Dale Fischer in Los Angeles approved the consent degree between the company and the EEOC over the objections of the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing, which has a separate lawsuit pending against Activision in state court on similar claims. Fischer’s approval came a day after the Ninth Circuit.”
