SAG-AFTRA has expressed support for the unionization efforts of Rockstar Games workers. The union, known as the Rockstar Games Workers Union, is seeking recognition from the entertainment guild. The union’s bid follows growing concerns among employees about working conditions and compensation.
The union has been actively organizing since early 2024, with members reporting long hours and inconsistent pay. A recent internal survey showed over 70% of employees support unionization. The union is now seeking formal recognition from SAG-AFTRA, which represents actors, broadcasters, and other media professionals.
This is not the first time Rockstar Games has faced labor issues. In 2023, several employees filed complaints with labor authorities over overtime pay and workplace safety. The company has not publicly commented on the union’s bid. The outcome of this bid could set a precedent for other game development studios.
