(Reuters) –A few Activision Blizzard workers (NASDAQ:), voted in favor of unionizing at a studio which works on “Call of Duty”, the second win in a campaign to organize the videogaming industry.

According to a tally made by U.S. National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) officers on Monday, employees in Middleton’s quality assurance section at Raven Software (NASDAQ:) Software voted 19-3 in favor of joining Communications Workers of America. 24 out of 28 eligible voters received their ballots. Two ballots were challenged, but this isn’t enough to alter the result.

“We respect and believe in the right of all employees to decide whether or not to support or vote for a union. We believe that an important decision that will impact the entire Raven Software studio of roughly 350 people should not be made by 19 Raven employees,” Activision said in a statement following the vote.

This win is a result of a rise in tech workers’ labor activity.

Vodeo, the North American’s first video-game studio with union representation was founded in December.

Workers at an Amazon warehouse (NASDAQ.) on Staten Island, New York recently voted for unionization, and employees at an Apple (NASDAQ.) store in Atlanta, filed a petition to vote in a union election.

Workers from more than 50 U.S. Starbucks Cafes (NASDAQ) have joined Workers United. However, five of approximately 240 stores that attempted to hold elections in August last year voted against the union.

John Logan, professor at San Francisco State University of Labor and Employment Studies, said that “there’s definitely a tremendous amount of energy and optimism at the moment, especially amongst young employees at the moment,” and added that there had been an increase in labor organizing across the country.

The organizers in Wisconsin called for a better work environment, with reasonable development timelines and appropriate compensation. They also wanted career opportunities in an area where quality assurance is not valued, according to their official Twitter account (NYSE:).

Raven Software’s success in creating their union will inspire other workers in the industry. Beth Allen, CWA Communications Director said that Activision must respect their decision to negotiate a fair contract.

Microsoft (NASDAQ) has announced its plans to buy Activision, a division of Microsoft Corporation.
