To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether he plans to provide support to people who claim to have been sacked for trying to unionise whilst working at Rockstar North.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether he plans to provide support to people who claim to have been sacked for trying to unionise whilst working at Rockstar North.
The government is looking into the matters in relation to Rockstar North. Section 152 of the Trade Union Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 protects employees from dismissal for being or seeking to be a member of a trade union. An employee who considers they were unfairly dismissed can bring a claim to an employment tribunal.
It is a fundamental part of our employment framework that workers have a voice in the workplace and can utilise their right to organise via trade unions. Indeed, the government is strengthening protections for trade union membership and activities through the Employment Rights Act.
The government is always willing to engage with employers, including Rockstar North, to ensure that they comply with their obligations.

That this House is concerned by media reports that 31 staff at Rockstar Games have been dismissed without warning, allegedly for their involvement with the Game Workers Branch of the Independent Workers’ Union of Great Britain (IWGB); understands that staff have been dismissed from studios in Dundee, Edinburgh and Lincoln; notes that the firings have led to protests outside the company’s offices in both Edinburgh and London; further understands that staff dismissed had been in talks with IWGB about unionising within Rockstar Games; shares concerns for the staff affected, who have lost their livelihoods, incomes and, in some cases, their visa-sponsors at a volatile time for those working in the wider gaming industry; and calls on the Secretary of State for Culture, Media, and Sport to investigate these dismissals as a potential case of anti-union discrimination.
