"Last week, we took action against a small number of individuals who were found to be distributing and discussing confidential information in a public forum, a violation of our company policies,"
"This was in no way related to people's right to join a union or engage in union activities."
"They are afraid of hard working staff privately discussing exercising their rights for a fairer workplace and a collective voice, Management are showing they don't care about delays to GTA VI, and that they're prioritising union busting by targeting the very people who make the game."
"the most blatant and ruthless act of union busting in the history of the games industry"
The Independent Workers' Union of Great Britain (IWGB) reported that 31 employees were dismissed from Rockstar's UK studios on 30 October. The IWGB organised rallies in Edinburgh and London and characterised the firings as deliberate union-busting aimed at halting efforts to unionise. Rockstar's parent company, Take-Two Interactive, said those staff were removed for distributing and discussing confidential information, citing company policy violations and denying any link to union activities. Security around Grand Theft Auto VI is heightened because of strong public interest and the game's expected commercial significance. Union leaders criticised management for prioritising anti-union actions over workers.
