Hundreds at Rockstar North Demand Reinstatement as Union Files Legal Claim

The dispute has entered formal proceedings following Rockstar's refusal to meet on returning the dismissed staff.

Overview

  • More than 200 employees signed a letter condemning the dismissal of IWGB members and calling for their colleagues to be rehired.
  • The IWGB says over 30 union members were terminated, alleging unlawful union busting and trade-union victimisation.
  • Rockstar says the firings were for gross misconduct tied to leaking information in public channels.
  • The union has issued a legal claim after the company declined talks on reinstatement, with protests set for London, Edinburgh and Paris.
  • The organizing drive, including the Rockstar Games Workers Union, continues as GTA 6 shifts to a November 19, 2026 release and Take-Two voices support for Rockstar.
