## Key points

- SAG-AFTRA backs the Rockstar workers’ union vote.
- Staff vote on recognition from the 12th to the 26th.
- Recognition could make it the UK games industry’s largest union.

## Summary

SAG-AFTRA has endorsed the Rockstar Games Workers Union ahead of a staff vote on whether the union should be formally recognised. The endorsement adds support from a major international labour union as Rockstar workers seek a collective voice on workplace issues.

The vote runs from the 12th to the 26th, following the reported dismissal of 31 union members last year, which is part of an ongoing legal dispute. If workers approve recognition, the union would represent staff on matters including pay, bonuses, overtime, redundancies, flexible working and generative AI policies, and could become the UK games industry’s largest recognised union through its partnership with the IWGB.
