Hundreds of CWA members and supporters rallied across North America to protest Microsoft’s plans to eliminate 3,200 roles across Xbox during the current fiscal year.
The demonstrations are intended to keep pressure on Microsoft following the company announcement about the planned job cuts, the report says. The source brief does not provide specific dates, cities, or the size of each rally beyond describing the turnout as "hundreds."
Microsoft flagged the reductions as affecting Xbox roles during its current fiscal year. The brief does not include a response from Microsoft, details on which Xbox teams or locations will be affected, or any timetable beyond the fiscal-year window.
CWA members and supporters are continuing actions to call attention to the planned cuts, according to the report.
