Rockstar Tribunal Hears GTA VI Worker Link 31 Firings to 154-Name Petition

Summary
Dayne Oram told a Glasgow tribunal he believed a 2023 remote-working petition was “maybe the start” of Rockstar keeping an eye on staff later fired in 2025.
154 employees signed that petition, but Rockstar’s lawyer challenged the alleged link by noting 141 signatories were not dismissed.
Discord posts became a central focus because Rockstar says confidential information was shared there; Oram, who helped moderate the forum used by about 300 employees, said discussions could “get a bit out of hand.”
31 Scotland-based dismissals are under scrutiny in the case, while Rockstar says 34 workers across the UK and Canada were fired for gross misconduct, not trade union activity.
GTA VI is due on 19 November, and the six-week case continues in Glasgow with Rockstar witnesses expected in October as union-recognition talks with current staff continue.
