[GTA 6](https://rockstarintel.com/category/gta/gta-6/)developers have formally announced a union to combat Rockstar Games’ actions which will be debated in court\.
On Thursday, the Independent Workers’ Union of Great Britain \(IWGB\) and Rockstar staff members announced the Rockstar Game Workers Union\. This union will be part of the IWGB\. The reveal came in the form of an informative[video](https://youtu.be/iLOq_6rOpoM)which delves into their motives and what we should be looking out for in the future\.
This union is the one facing a[legal battle](https://rockstarintel.com/rockstar-games-to-face-legal-battle-following-alleged-union-busting/)with Rockstar\. Over 30 employees were fired last year for “gross misconduct” which the IWGB disputes as an act of union busting\. As time has passed, the union has now been fully set up and is looking to fight Rockstar Games in court\. A date for the trial in court has been set though not been published by the union just yet\.
The Rockstar Game Workers Union say in their video that Rockstar’s actions towards those 30\+ staffers charged others to join the union\. Whilst most of the affected workers were based at Rockstar North in Edinburgh, the seeds have spread far and wide\. The union claims a sizeable number of Rockstar employees from their London, Leeds, Lincoln and Dundee offices have joined forces with the many others in Edinburgh\.
