The fallout from Rockstar's firing of over 30 employees last week continues as workers gather outside the offices in protest of what the Independent Workers' of Great Britain (IWGB) union alleges was a "brazen" act of union busting. YouTube channel People Make Games spoke with some of the developers and IWGB organizers about how they're fighting back against the Grand Theft Auto 6 developer and what happens next.
PMG originally intended to help publicize the Rockstar employee union this month but was informed about the sudden firing around the same time as Bloomberg's initial report went out. At the time, Rockstar parent company Take-Two said it fired the workers for "gross misconduct." And then, in a statement to Bloomberg last week, it said the workers were "distributing and discussing confidential information in a public forum," and that the abrupt firing was "in no way related to people's right to join a union or engage in union activities."
