Rockstar staff push for union recognition as GTA VI looms
TL;DR Summary
Rockstar Games workers have filed for voluntary recognition by the IWGB Game Workers Union, claiming a significant cross-site majority and seeking pay transparency, flexible scheduling, and reduced crunch; the move follows past layoffs accused of union busting, a September tribunal on those firings, and ahead of GTA VI’s November 19 launch at a $79.99 starting price, with Take-Two saying it will discuss with the union as industry-wide unionization efforts grow.
