Rockstar Games faces a tribunal as fired unionized workers claim retaliation for their union membership.

Rockstar Games faces a high-stakes tribunal in Glasgow as 31 unionized workers, fired last October for allegedly leaking confidential info via a private Discord channel, fight back claiming it was retaliation for union membership. The IWGB accuses Rockstar of unlawful blacklisting and lack of due process, while Rockstar insists the dismissals were for gross misconduct tied to secrecy breaches—not union activity. Workers, devastated by losing years of work on GTA VI’s development, see this as a pivotal battle for labor rights—and they’re demanding justice, rehire, or compensation before the game drops in November.
