Rockstar Games Fired Union Organizers Claims Tribunal

🐿️ The Squirrel's Take

If workers are blacklisted simply for petitioning over remote work, Rockstar is pulling a heist far worse than anything in GTA: stealing their right to organize.

💡 Why it matters

This tribunal could set a precedent for UK video game workers' rights to unionize without fear of retaliation from major studios.

Dayne Oram told an employment tribunal in Glasgow that Rockstar Games placed employees on a 'watch list' after they signed a petition about remote working in 2023, leading to the dismissal of 31 staff. Rockstar denies the firings were related to union activity, stating they were.
