☆ 'Grand Theft Auto VI' means every day is an office day for Rockstar workers
  + stars: | 2024-03-01 | by ( Hasan Chowdhury | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
The developer behind the Grand Theft Auto games has asked employees to return to the office five days a week from April, per Bloomberg, as it enters the final stages of development for the franchise's next installment, "Grand Theft Auto VI." AdvertisementHello @X, watch Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 1 pic.twitter.com/smzxOLhh4o — Rockstar Games (@RockstarGames) December 5, 2023IP and sales worth billions on the lineSecurity has always been a huge priority at Rockstar. But in the run-up to the release of "Grand Theft Auto VI," Rockstar, which adopted remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic, has had several security issues to contend with. The Independent Workers Union of Great Britain (IWGB) said the decision by Rockstar came a year after 170 Rockstar workers signed a petition "opposing mandatory 3-day office work." Rockstar workers represented by the union accused the developer of "broken promises" and said they had concerns around a "heightened risk of overwork," which the company has been criticised for in the past.

☆ Deliveroo Riders Aren't Entitled to Collective Bargaining Protections, UK Court Says
  + stars: | 2023-11-21 | by ( Associated Press | Nov. | At A.M. | ) www.usnews.com   time to read: +2 min
But the court ruled that the right to collective bargaining applies only when there is an “employment relationship” between the workers and the company. Deliveroo riders aren’t employees because their contract gives them the “virtually unfettered right” to pass deliveries on to someone else, the court said. Deliveroo welcomed the decision, saying it confirmed lower court rulings that the company’s riders are self-employed. “This is a positive judgment for Deliveroo riders, who value the flexibility that self-employed work offers,” the company said in a statement. “This dangerous false dichotomy between rights and flexibility is one that Deliveroo and other gig economy giants rely heavily upon in efforts to legitimize their exploitative business models.”
