Rockstar is once again under the microscope for firing 31 workers in UK and Canada offices this fall, an act parent company Take-Two claims was made necessary by "gross misconduct" – but the Independent Workers' Union of Great Britain (IWGB) alleges was really a flagrant example of union busting. Now, following several protests in front of Rockstar offices, the issue of firings has finally floated up to UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who says he'll "look into" it.
Labour Party Member of Parliament (MP) Chris Murray brought up the Rockstar firings to Starmer on December 10, feeling concerned about his constituents: "Having met Rockstar, they failed to reassure me they are following employment law, and I share concerns about union busting."
