Last week over 30 members of staff at Grand Theft Auto VI developer Rockstar were fired en masse in a “calculated attack on workers”. The IWGB described Rockstar’s actions as ‘the most blatant and ruthless act of union busting in the history of the games industry.

It’s been a brutal week so far, but members at Rockstar have remained determined to fight back against this vicious targeting of staff, who we believe have been fired unfairly for exercising their legal rights.

We demand that Rockstar reinstate our members and stop their union busting activities in the workplace.

This is a seismic event for the gaming industry and the trade union movement, and we can only fight back with your support - we want to campaigning and keep the pressure up on Rockstar until every unfairly fired worker has their job back! Your donation to the Rockstar Fighting Fund will help with:

• Support contributions towards mounting a legal defence

• Support campaigning costs to ramp up the pressure on Rockstar

If you can’t contribute to the fund, you can share this page with your colleagues and friends, amplify us on Twitter, Bluesky, and Instagram, and a consider writing to your MP to appeal against this illegal and immoral action using our template kit here.

We won’t rest until Rockstar are held to account for their union busting and horrific treatment of their staff!
