Rockstar and Take-Two Employees Form Workers Union
On May 28, the Independent Workers of Great Britain (IWGB) officially confirmed the establishment of the Rockstar Games Workers Union, a dedicated trade organization representing the company’s workforce.
While the exact membership figures have not been disclosed, this new IWGB branch draws its strength from a diverse coalition of staff across all of Rockstar’s UK-based studios, including Edinburgh, London, Leeds, Lincoln, and Dundee.
According to union organizers, this collective action was successfully launched despite significant resistance and deterrent efforts from Rockstar’s management to suppress the movement.
