Rockstar employees in the UK are voting on formal recognition of their union, with the ballot open across GTA 6's release week. Rockstar's management says it will accept the result.
What changed
- The vote runs from November 12 to November 26, 2026; the result is expected after it closes.
- It concerns the Rockstar Game Workers Union, a branch of the Independent Workers Union of Great Britain (IWGB).
- More than 1,600 UK employees below director level can take part.
- If approved, the union would negotiate pay, overtime, bonuses, pensions and leave, and be consulted on HR policies and the use of AI.
- Rockstar's head of publishing, Jennifer Kolbe, told Bloomberg that the studio would respect the outcome.
- The press does not expect the vote to affect the November 19 release of the game.
