Rockstar Union Busting Trial: 'Mole' Allegations vs. Security Breach Defense

An employment tribunal in Glasgow is hearing a case where 31 former Rockstar Games employees, represented by the IWGB, allege they were fired for union activity rather than misconduct. The hearing, which began on October 13, 2026, and is expected to conclude on October 16, centers on 34 dismissals that occurred in October 2025. The claimants argue Rockstar targeted union leaders after crossing a 10% membership threshold, citing evidence of internal surveillance. Rockstar maintains the firings were justified by gross misconduct involving the leak of confidential information, particularly regarding the upcoming release of GTA 6.
