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.

Tribunal Denies Interim Relief in Rockstar Workers Case Over Discord Posts

The Glasgow Employment Tribunal refused the IWGB’s bid for interim relief for Rockstar staff fired over alleged Discord postings related to Grand Theft Auto 6, saying it’s unlikely the dismissals were primarily due to union membership. The ruling notes that some affected workers were non-members (including Canadians), some IWGB-connected staff were not dismissed, and that postings may have been obtained via covert monitoring; some employees were dismissed after little or no notice and for limited ongoing posting. A full hearing will proceed, with Rockstar defending its actions and the IWGB remaining optimistic about the case.
