Grand Theft Auto Studio Accused of Union Busting After Worker Sacking, Delay Announcement
Rockstar Games, the developer of Grand Theft Auto, is facing accusations of union-busting after terminating the employment of 31 UK-based workers. The Independent Workers’ Union of Great Britain (IWGB) alleges the firings were intended to thwart unionization efforts within the company, leading to protests outside Rockstar’s offices. Rockstar claims the dismissals were due to the sharing of confidential information, a violation of company policy. The IWGB refutes this explanation, asserting the firings were directly related to union involvement, and that Rockstar is prioritizing union-busting.
