## Key points

- Rockstar staff vote on union recognition from 12 to 26 November.
- The company employs more than 4,700 people.
- A court decision over 31 dismissals is expected on 19 November.

## Summary

Rockstar Games employees will vote between 12 and 26 November on whether the company should recognise the Rockstar Game Workers Union, which would negotiate on workplace matters. With more than 4,700 staff, the vote could establish the largest video game workers’ union, making it a significant test of union representation in the industry.

The vote coincides with the planned 19 November release of Grand Theft Auto 6 and a court decision expected that day in a dispute over the dismissal of 31 employees. Rockstar says those workers were responsible for leaks; the IWGB, which is supporting them, says the dismissals were unfair and an attempt to undermine union activity. Rockstar’s head of publishing has said the company will recognise a union if employees want one.
