'It would have been insanity to take no action' - Fiery opening statements reveal Rockstar's culture of secrecy as tribunal against sacked GTA 6 employees begins
Rockstar Games and the Independent Workers Union of Great Britain (IWGB) presented opposing opening statements in a tribunal concerning the dismissal of 31 Rockstar North employees. The IWGB alleges Rockstar monitored a private Discord server used for union organizing and took action only after the union reached a recognition threshold, while Rockstar claims the dismissals were due to uncovered misconduct and breaches of confidentiality related to Grand Theft Auto 6 development.
