Workers at Rockstar's UK offices are set to vote on formally recognising a new union, with the ballot scheduled to run from November 12 to 26. The IWGB Rockstar Game Workers Union announced the vote on Bluesky, according to TechPowerUp.
The union began forming in early 2026 following what it described as unfair firings. Over the following months, meetings between management and workers produced a recognition deal, and the upcoming ballot is intended to officially ratify that agreement. The vote will be conducted anonymously online.
If approved, recognition would give workers input on matters including pay and bonuses, overtime, redundancies, flexible working arrangements, and policies governing generative AI.
