Rockstar HR manager claims he had "little interest" in staff's union membership status as fired GTA dev union-busting trial heats up Claimants allege Rockstar HR lead knew who union members were prior to layoffs. One of the witnesses in the ongoing Rockstar Games vs Garland & Others case has said he had "little interest" in evidence of unionisation efforts he was sent by an anonymous employee, prior to the developer laying off a substantial number of union Discord members. This happened today as part of an on-going trial at Glasgow Tribunals Centre, as 31 former employees of the Grand Theft Auto 6 developer - represented by the Independent Workers' Union of Great Britain (IWGB) - claim they were targeted and unlawfully dismissed as part of union-busting efforts at Rockstar. To this, Kinloch suggests the build up to GTA 6's release played a major role: "I viewed those messages with the scrutiny Rockstar Games was under in the run up to GTA6, which was unprecedented." Kinloch claimed media speculation and public interest was at a "peak", and if any of the disparaging comments were made public, it could "deal the company damage." He said such leaks - given the increased attention on the game - could result in financial harm, and that if someone decided to leak, that individual could benefit from doing so.
