"A fight for all workers": SAG-AFTRA throw weight behind emerging Rockstar union ahead of its GTA 6 release week vote

In what has come to feel like the dawn of the final day before Grand Theft Auto VI's release, one thing that Rockstar really don't want people to be aware of is the ongoing legal dispute between the Rockstar Games Workers Union and the studio itself following Rockstar's alleged union busting in firing 31 union members last year. Starting on the 12th through to the 26th, recognition of the union will be voted upon by staff to ensure that workers would be given a say over "topics including pay and bonuses, overtime, redundancies, flexible working arrangements, and generative AI policies."

If it passes, the vote would also make the union the largest recognised union in the UK games industry, partly thanks to its partnership with the Independent Workers Union of Great Britain. Now, the global labor union SAG-AFTRA have chimed in to endorse the Workers Union, offering solidarity to the members involved and granting important leverage from a global force.
