Rockstar has been accused of union-busting after firing 31 workers, which UK trade union the Independent Workers' Union of Great Britain (IWGB) has alleged is unfair dismissal of staff. The union has mounted a legal claim, which yesterday reached the UK parliament. A signed letter to Rockstar management has been signed by over 200 employees at Rockstar North.
