We, the workers at Bethesda Games Studios, express our solidarity and support for the developers at Rockstar Games. Last month’s firings in the UK and Canada were a clear and disgusting case of union busting.

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.
That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

Members of our union have been showing their support at a number of Pride events across the country, including London Trans+ Pride and Glasgow Pride. Unions marching in pride parades is a tradition dating back to the 80s & it's an honour to continue that tradition.
