an anonymous rockstar employee alleges the company fired 34 union members (31 in uk, 3 in canada) last week for "gross misconduct" related to posts in a private discord group discussing unionization and working conditions—no evidence was shown, union representation was denied (violating uk law), and affected staff included senior leads with 18+ years of service, some on medical/paternity leave, leading to panic attacks, financial hardship, and visa risks ahead of christmas. morale at studios is "rock bottom," with remaining workers fearful of reprisals, as this came just after the union hit the 10% threshold for recognition to negotiate crunch, pay, and flexibility; the poster clarifies no project leaks occurred in the discord, calling it blatant union busting, and urges support via the fundraiser at https://actionnetwork.org/fundraising/support-rockstar-workers-fighting-unfair-dismissals/.
