Rockstar staff allege a 'watch list' formed after remote-work petition in UK tribunal

TL;DR Summary
A Glasgow employment tribunal is weighing whether Rockstar Games unlawfully fired 31 employees for trade union activity after a 2023 remote-working petition, with claimant Dayne Oram alleging a list of names signaling monitoring. Rockstar says the dismissals were due to gross misconduct for sharing confidential information. The case involves 23 Scottish workers (out of 31) represented by the IWGB, part of a wider 34-term fired group, as GTA VI’s release approaches. The tribunal is expected to last about six weeks.
