Rockstar Accused of Union-Busting Ahead of GTA 6 Release

Rockstar Games, the developer behind the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6, is facing accusations of union-busting and unfair labor practices. The company’s recent actions have sparked outrage among employees and labor rights advocates.

According to reports, Rockstar Games recently fired over 30 employees who were either current union members or involved in organizing efforts. This move has been condemned as a blatant act of union-busting by the Independent Workers’ Union of Great Britain (IWGB).

The impacted employees were said to be part of a private Discord group dedicated to discussing unionization at Rockstar. The company claims that the terminations were due to ‘gross misconduct,’ but many believe it was a targeted effort to suppress union activities.

Protests have erupted outside Rockstar Games offices, with demonstrators accusing the company of prioritizing profits over the well-being of its workers. The fired employees, along with union officials, are demanding reinstatement and fair treatment.

As the release of Grand Theft Auto 6 approaches, the controversy surrounding Rockstar Games’ labor practices has cast a shadow over the highly anticipated game. Fans and industry observers are closely watching how the company addresses these allegations and whether it will take steps to support its employees.
