Rockstar has been accused of union busting, but the company says the fired employees were "distributing and discussing confidential information in a public forum"
For sure, definitely be extra careful when organizing outside of the ways sanctioned by the company. In fact, I recommend not keeping any records about anything that goes on in the company, and keep union discussions about the union itself. If you want to recruit people, talk about how you’d like the relationship between the union and company to be, not about things the company is doing that you don’t like, because there’s a huge risk of giving the company a valid reason to fire you.
I’m more talking about what’s generally protected legally and what’s not. Again, if you’re looking to form a union, don’t get anywhere near that line.
Trust me on this one, we used similar organizing techniques for issues like these. The line is thin, but lined with landmines.
