The battle of the Rockstar 31 is the battle of every worker in the 21st century fighting for better conditions in the workplace. We really need you to donate to be in with a chance with this David and Golaith legal battle.

Will + the rest of the Rockstar 31 need YOU to win justice for all the needless pain and upheaval from these dismissals. To beat Rockstar at the historic court case in September we asking supporters of the @gameworkers.co.uk to donate to our legal fundraiser. actionnetwork.org/fundraising/...

I'm so very grateful for PeopleMakeGames giving me a platform to speak about the impact the dismissal from Rockstar has had on my family because it has been profound. We miss our dogs more than anything in the world and would do anything to have them both back. Unfortunately that cannot happen.

Listen to fired Rockstar worker Will Masilane detail how losing his job meant losing the life he had built in Edinburgh, with his girlfriend and his beloved dogs Abby and Lonnie The four of them had made the move to the Scottish capital from Australia two and half years prior.

Of course, taking Rockstar to court for sacking 31 workers without warning is about the human cost outlined by my comrade Will right here but we are also fighting for the right to organise at work! We need your money to do this David and Goliath battle!!!!! actionnetwork.org/fundraising/...

Game workers everywhere have many problems in common. Our jobs are under threat, we are denied a voice in our workplaces, and policies such as ‘return to office

Migration is NOT the problem! ❌️ Don't let them divide us 🤝 Unionise, organise & build solidarity to fight the UK Government's new immigration policy ! ✊🏽

"All these workers have ever tried to do is discuss their pay and conditions to improve them, so they can make a game loved by millions."

EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum". PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TvW...

This weekend, we sat down with outsourced cleaners from @iwgbunion.bsky.social working in some of London's biggest high-street shops. In our workshops, workers consistently flag the huge gap between what brands think is happening, and what workers actually experience every day.

Unions ain't busted! 💥 Our solidarity was on full display at the Rockstar Games office in Edinburgh yesterday We told them loud and clear! 📣 No amount of profit or prestige can ever match the power of a united workforce This is just the beginning See you at the next protest✊🏽 @gameworkers.co.uk

🚨 PROTEST REMINDER 🚨 Join us as we fight Rockstar Games' union busting & demand the reinstatement of the fired workers! @gameworkers.co.uk are leading the protest : 🗓️ Today, 18 Nov 🕔 5: 00 PM 📍Barclay House, 108 Holyrood Road, Edinburgh EH8 8AS See you there ✊🔥🔥

We, the workers at Bethesda Games Studios, express our solidarity and support for the developers at Rockstar Games. Last month’s firings in the UK and Canada were a clear and disgusting case of union busting.

‘Say Sorry, Be Nice!’ Staff at @rockstargames.com fired en masse- in a “calculated attack on workers” according to @iwgbunion.bsky.social. The mass firing comes just months ahead of the release of Grand Theft Auto VI, predicted to be the biggest game launch in history: www.ier.org.uk/news/say-sor...

What an inspiring weekend in Glasgow for our Political Economy & Organising Training ✊ For 2 days, we studied the system, asking who profits from our work & how we build worker power The energy was incredible & members left with a strong community Change starts when we educate, agitate & organise

Today, we honoured Rob Dale, a driver whose life was lost during the immense stress of TfL's licence delays. We held a vigil at their offices, a somber remembrance that turned into a fiery protest We turned grief into action and demanded justice. The fight continues for all drivers. ✊🏽
