Discord, a mole and a 10% milestone: the Rockstar union-busting tribunal

A UK/Canada dispute sees IWGB accusing Rockstar of firing 34 workers (31 union members, 3 non-members) in October 2025 to disrupt union activity after the union hit the UK’s 10% recognition threshold, allegedly aided by a mole within the union Discord. Rockstar counters the terminations were for misconduct and to protect confidential GTA VI development amid a heightened security culture. The Glasgow employment tribunal is hearing the case through 2026, with filings detailing both sides’ arguments and the evidence they contend supports their positions.
