Rockstar Game Workers Union announces employee vote for November 12

The IWGB Rockstar Game Workers Union says employees will hold an anonymous online vote from November 12 to 26 to ratify a recognition deal. The union claims this vote follows meetings between management and workers held over the last few months. The timing of the vote coincides with the launch of Grand Theft Auto VI, which is viewed as a strategic publicity effort.

The union started forming in early 2026 following what it described as unfair firings. If the recognition deal is ratified, the union says workers would gain a voice in matters such as compensation, extra hours, job security, remote work options, and the use of artificial intelligence.
