Rockstar UK staff to vote on union recognition during GTA 6 launch

Staff at Rockstar will vote on IWGB union recognition from November 12th to November 26th, starting a week before GTA 6's launch, according to a press release from the Independent Workers of Great Britain. The release says the agreed recognition deal would give workers a say on pay and bonuses, overtime, redundancies, flexible working and generative AI policies. If the vote passes, the union would become the largest recognised union in the UK games industry, while closing arguments in the employment tribunal over 31 laid-off staffers are set for November 17th and 18th.
