We stand in solidarity with IWGB game workers in London who have been targeted by blatant union busting by Rockstar Games. This attack on workers organising in their workplace can not stand.
In one of the most shameless instances of union-busting Rockstar Games fired 30+ IWGB union members for NO OTHER REASON than to terrorize & silence them.

Join the IWGB protest!
Demand reinstatement!

📅 Thursday, 6 November
🕙 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM

Any employer wishing to avail of the digital gaming tax incentive needs to show that at a minimum they pay the living wage, provide secure contracts of direct employment, give proper pension provision and support employer engagement with trade unions.

It was great to have Game Workers Unite Ireland @gwuireland.bsky.social as an official sponsor of this year's FÍS Games Summit!

I had so many great talks with folks during the day. Excited for the future of the Irish games industry.

A big thanks to @ardan-ie.bsky.social for organising the event.
We had a really good day at #FÍSGamesSummit yesterday. We got to meet lots of game devs and talked about the state of things in the industry. @lenhaunts.bsky.social @denmanrooke.com

We look forward to welcoming some as new members.
