Sacked Grand Theft Auto worker tells tribunal Rockstar placed staff on 'watch list'

Dayne Oram told a Glasgow employment tribunal he believed Rockstar North put employees on a "watch list" after a remote-working petition was submitted in 2023.

• Oram told the tribunal he believed the company started monitoring employees after a petition about remote working was sent to leadership in the spring of 2023.
• Rockstar disputes the claims, arguing the workers were dismissed for gross misconduct following the sharing of confidential company information, not for union activity.
• Thirty-four Rockstar workers were fired last year, with 23 taking part in the tribunal; most were based at the company's Edinburgh headquarters.
• A Rockstar spokesperson said dismissals followed the sharing of confidential company information and were not due to trade union membership or activity.
