Rockstar workers allege pay gaps and mandatory crunch as UK union drive grows

TL;DR Summary
Rockstar Games employees and members of the Rockstar Games Workers Union allege opaque pay practices, a widening gender pay gap, and a culture of crunch baked into UK contracts, with discretionary bonuses and unstable promotions. They say overtime is incentivized rather than regulated and remote-work concessions are being rolled back, while unionization efforts push for voluntary recognition; Take-Two says it offers competitive pay and is open to dialogue.
