Rockstar Games Workers Seek Union Recognition Ahead of GTA VI Launch

Workers at Rockstar Games, the developer of Grand Theft Auto VI, have submitted a request for voluntary recognition of their union, the IWGB Game Workers Union. This request follows the termination of over 30 employees last year, which has been characterized by some as an act of union busting. The IWGB has stated that its members have been organizing since 2019 and claim to represent a significant portion of the workforce across Rockstar's studios in Edinburgh, Dundee, Lincoln, Leeds, and London. The union reports that improvements to working conditions have already been made as its membership has grown.
