Ex-staff members’ claim after 31 dismissed
FORMER staff at the gaming giant behind Grand Theft Auto claimed that a “devastating” mass sacking took place because they tried to unionise.
Some 31 employees were dismissed in October for what Rockstar North called “gross misconduct”.
The majority were based at the firm's Edinburgh headquarters, with former workers alleging they were penalised for discussing working conditions in a private online forum.
Rockstar North claimed it was incorrect to suggest the dismissals were linked to union membership.
It said it took action after staff discussed confidential information, including specific game features from upcoming titles.
