Game Developer: Eligible Rockstar employees in the UK will vote on union recognition
Quick summary
Game Developer reports that eligible Rockstar employees in the UK will vote from November 12 to 26 on recognizing the IWGB Rockstar Game Workers Union. A vote is not the same as recognition already being granted.
The reported agreement would give represented workers a formal voice on pay and bonuses, overtime, redundancies, flexible working and generative-AI policies. The sources do not define every employee’s eligibility, so the result should not be described as a vote by all UK staff.
The vote is separate from the employment tribunal over Rockstar’s 2025 dismissal of 31 workers. IWGB alleges union busting; Rockstar says the dismissals were for gross misconduct and denies that claim.
