Rockstar workers vote on union recognition amid GTA 6 release

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Workers at Rockstar Games' UK offices are set to hold a union recognition vote between November 12 and November 26, coinciding with the highly anticipated release of Grand Theft Auto 6 on November 19. This vote could establish the Rockstar Game Workers Union as the largest in the UK's gaming industry. The timing also aligns with the conclusion of a legal case where the Independent Workers' Union of Great Britain (IWUGB) is suing Rockstar over alleged union-busting following layoffs in October 2025.
