Join us in calling on the RCA to stop victimising cleaners and start taking their safety seriously!

actionnetwork.org/letters/rca-...

Unionised cleaners at the RCA are pulling that curtain down, and asking the public to look in at how these institutions treat marginalised workers when they think no one is watching.

5/

Prestigious, well-respected institutions like the RCA think they can use outsourcing as a curtain they draw shut to hide the exploitation, abuse and intimidation of migrant workers that their operations run on.

4/

Now, cleaners who bravely spoke up about their years-long ordeal at a letter hand-in protest have been put under investigation for gross misconduct, accused of bringing the client into disrepute.

3/

yet the RCA continued to turn the other way.

The file shows email after email, complaint after complaint, detailing degrading, fear-inducing treatment from supervisors, with severe physical and mental health consequences -

For years, @royalcollegeofart.bsky.social
's cleaners pushed every panic button they could, + no one came to help them.

Now they are being victimised for speaking out about years of alleged abuse+sexual harassment.

"All these workers have ever tried to do is discuss their pay and conditions to improve them, so they can make a game loved by millions."

This weekend, we sat down with outsourced cleaners from @iwgbunion.bsky.social working in some of London's biggest high-street shops.

In our workshops, workers consistently flag the huge gap between what brands think is happening, and what workers actually experience every day.

Unions ain't busted! 💥 Our solidarity was on full display at the Rockstar Games office in Edinburgh yesterday

We told them loud and clear! 📣

No amount of profit or prestige can ever match the power of a united workforce

This is just the beginning

We, the workers at Bethesda Games Studios, express our solidarity and support for the developers at Rockstar Games. Last month’s firings in the UK and Canada were a clear and disgusting case of union busting.

‘Say Sorry, Be Nice!’ Staff at @rockstargames.com fired en masse- in a “calculated attack on workers” according to @iwgbunion.bsky.social. The mass firing comes just months ahead of the release of Grand Theft Auto VI, predicted to be the biggest game launch in history: www.ier.org.uk/news/say-sor...

What an inspiring weekend in Glasgow for our Political Economy & Organising Training ✊

For 2 days, we studied the system, asking who profits from our work & how we build worker power

The energy was incredible & members left with a strong community

Change starts when we educate, agitate & organise

Today, we honoured Rob Dale, a driver whose life was lost during the immense stress of TfL's licence delays.

We held a vigil at their offices, a somber remembrance that turned into a fiery protest

We turned grief into action and demanded justice.

The fight continues for all drivers. ✊🏽

‘Grand Theft Auto’ Studio Accused of Union Busting After Firings Union says 30 and 40 people were terminated. Rockstar Games’ parent company cites ‘gross misconduct’

BREAKING: Yesterday Grand Theft Auto VI maker Rockstar Games fired dozens of people, all of whom were involved in union efforts. A British union calls it "blatant and ruthless" union-busting. Take-Two Interactive says it was due to misconduct.

Here's the scoop: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Rockstar: not only making history in terms of profits, but in enacting the most brazen act of union busting the games industry has ever seen.

This is the most ruthless act of union busting in the history of the UK games industry. Yesterday, @rockstargames.com unfairly fired over 30 employees for union activity.

We won't back down, and we're not scared - we will fight for every member to be reinstated.

🙌The first recognised union for game devs in the UK! 🙌
