With Grand Theft Auto 6 set to launch in November, the newly formed Rockstar IWGB Game Workers Union is pushing for official recognition. They’re advocating for better pay transparency, flexible work conditions, and an end to crunch time. UK law supports their efforts, allowing them to seek legal recognition if Rockstar doesn't respond within ten days.
This union could be a game changer, being only the second recognized in the UK gaming scene. Their push comes after the controversial firing of 30 employees last year, which some see as an attempt to hinder unionization. Will Rockstar Games embrace this new partnership with their workers?
