A Bloomberg report says Grand Theft Auto 6 studio Rockstar Games has fired "dozens" of employees over what the Independent Workers of Great Britain union alleges is a "brazen" act of union busting. Rockstar parent company Take-Two Interactive denies that allegation, and says the employees were fired for misconduct.

An IWGB rep told the site that some of the fired employees were members of the union, while others were attempting to organize.
