“Say sorry, be nice is a Rockstar slogan, it has been for many, many years. At least in this instance, it doesn’t seem like the company is interested in living by it.” Watch the video of our demonstration & interviews with dismissed workers at Rockstar North here!

This is the most ruthless act of union busting in the history of the UK games industry. Yesterday,
@rockstargames.com
unfairly fired over 30 employees for union activity. We won't back down, and we're not scared - we will fight for every member to be reinstated.

At the start of the year I was told I was being referred to the hospital for an issue, the receptionist confirmed this was done. Months later I was told there was never any referral and the gp wrote in his notes he was only considering one. I had to pay a private GP to refer me on the NHS.
