UK Prime Minister Says Ministers Will Review Rockstar Firings After Union-Busting Allegations

The move responds to union claims over 31 dismissals that Rockstar says were for gross misconduct.

Overview

  • Keir Starmer told Parliament the case is "deeply concerning" and said ministers will look into the dismissals raised by MP Chris Murray.
  • The IWGB has filed a legal claim asserting the fired staff were union members targeted for organizing.
  • Rockstar denies union-busting, stating the employees were dismissed for gross misconduct related to sharing confidential information in a private Discord chat.
  • Protests were held outside Rockstar offices, and more than 200 Rockstar North employees signed a letter condemning the company’s actions.
  • The dispute coincides with GTA 6 moving from May to November 2026, with publisher Take-Two saying the delay is to add polish and affirming support for Rockstar.
