‘Flagrant attack’ | Grand Theft Auto-maker Rockstar accused of unlawfully sacking staff over union activity

Rockstar Games, the maker of Grand Theft Auto, has been accused of sacking over 30 UK employees for union activity in a “flagrant attack on workers' rights.”

A statement from the Independent Workers’ Union of Great Britain (IWGB) claimed the workers were dismissed last Thursday, October 30, and said the game developer has behaved unlawfully.

Take Two Interactive, which owns Rockstar, stated the staffers were dismissed solely for “gross misconduct.”
