GTA workers lose bid for interim pay as union-busting dispute advances

A Glasgow tribunal refused interim relief to 29 Rockstar Games UK staff who say they were fired for trying to unionise, meaning they will continue to be unpaid while a full hearing proceeds. The workers allege their dismissals for union activity followed confidential information concerns tied to a public Discord server; the judge noted it wasn’t clear whether union membership was the main reason for the sacks. A full tribunal will hear evidence later, with the IWGB union claiming the outcome underscores an attempt to crush a union, while Rockstar welcomed the ruling.
