Following Rockstar Games' "ruthless" firing of over 30 employees, the Independent Workers' Union of Great Britain has assured the laid-off developers should've been "legally protected" to privately discuss working conditions – but the situation is nowhere near over.
There's been a bit of back and forth from either end. Although Rockstar claimed the firings came after internal leaks of "confidential information" and were "in no way related to people's right to join a union" – specifically accusing former devs of "distributing and discussing confidential information in a public forum" – the IWGB disagreed, stating that the so-called "public forum" was actually a private Discord server.
