## Resource

Rockstar Games under fire for alleged union-busting after firing thirty-four workers, mostly game developers at their Edinburgh studio, following a failed union recognition bid. Union claims dismissals were due to organizing discussions, not game leaks. Industry backlash, protests, and government probe ensue as Rockstar faces transparency and workers rights issues amid GTA six release.
