The massive Reform donation should be a wake-up call. No billionaire should be able to buy political influence. We need urgent action and a meaningful cap on political donations. Working people deserve a democracy that can’t be bought. Democracy isn’t for sale. #BFAWU

NEW 🚨| 22 trade union leaders, representing more than 1.3 million workers, are calling on @rockstargames.com to stop playing games with workers' rights and recognise the @gameworkers.co.uk . Read and share the letter below 👇 #Solidarity #StrikeMap
Dear Jenn Kolbe and Rob Spampinato

Rockstar stop playing games with workers rights
 
We call on Rockstar Games to recognise the IWGB Rockstar Union.
 
The success of the video games industry comes from the efforts of its workers and it is essential that structures are created to ensure the workers have a voice in decision making. 
 
Without the Rockstar workforce, Grand Theft Auto would not be one of the highest grossing video game franchises of all time. Now Rockstar workers must be given a seat at the table so they can share in this success.

The IWGB has a proud record bringing together workers in the video games sector - launched by the Game Workers Unite international and lately having achieved the first recognition agreement in the sector at ZA/UM.Workers at Rockstar have chosen the IWGB for their union, and it is only right that Rockstar respects their choice and agrees to bargain with them.
 
Every worker, including those at Rockstar, deserves to be and should be part of a union. 
 
We hope you will make the right choice.
 
Yours
