Rockstar vs Union Workers at Tribunal | Belfast News

Rockstar Games is facing legal heat after firing 34 UK and Canadian employees last October over alleged leaks of HR Slack emails shared in a Discord group — the company calls it a “gross breach” of confidentiality. Now, 23 former staff are suing, claiming they were unfairly targeted for union involvement. Their lawyers argue the info was shared for legitimate union work and that Rockstar’s own policies allowed broad email distribution. Rockstar insists the unsecured Discord server posed serious security risks, citing past leaks like GTA VI footage stolen via phishing — warning that exposing internal comms could help hackers exploit employees before pre-orders hit. The tribunal battle hinges on whether union activity or misconduct drove the firings — with both sides locked in a high-stakes showdown over workplace rights and corporate secrecy.
