TL;DR

Microsoft is converting a group of subcontracted temps into unionized employees, defying industry norms and expanding organized labor's presence at the company. This move follows Microsoft's agreement in January to collectively bargain with a labor union representing quality assurance workers at one of its video game studios. Union contract negotiations have been ongoing since April.
