"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."
"Rockstar continues to deflect from the real reason for these dismissals: they are afraid of hard-working staff privately discussing exercising their rights for a fairer workplace and a collective voice,"
"in recent years, Rockstar executives have benefited from £443 million in tax relief, while showing total disregard for the law or the livelihoods of their staff. At every turn, they've chosen profits over both workers and fans of their games. The only non-Rockstar employees in the union Discord channel were union organizers."
Rockstar states that a small number of employees were dismissed for distributing and discussing confidential information in a public forum, which the company says violated its policies. The IWGB alleges the dismissals—affecting more than 30 coders and graphic designers—were acts of union busting tied to private Discord discussions about organizing. IWGB president Alex Marshall rejects Rockstar's explanation and accuses management of prioritizing union suppression over workers and project delays for GTA VI. Marshall also criticizes recent executive tax relief of £443 million and asserts only union organizers outside Rockstar were present in the Discord channel.
