A dismissed worker connected to Grand Theft Auto has claimed that staff at Rockstar were placed on a “watch list”, in a dispute involving allegations about union activity and the handling of confidential information.
The makers of Grand Theft Auto have denied that employees were removed because they were involved in organising a union. According to the company’s position, the dismissals were instead linked to the alleged sharing of confidential information on the internet.
The allegation from the former worker raises questions about how staff activity was monitored and how the company responded to internal organising efforts. The central dispute is between the worker’s claim that Rockstar staff were being watched and the company’s denial that union-related activity was the reason for the sackings.
No further details were provided in the supplied material about how many employees were dismissed, when the dismissals took place, what confidential information was allegedly shared, or what form the claimed “watch list” took.
The latest stated position is that the company rejects the claim that the sackings were connected to union organising and maintains that the issue concerned confidential information being posted online.
