"People Make Games" have two videos on the topic where they also talked with the fired employees. They contain a bit more info than this bbc article:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9nOwjeznjI - The initial report

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TvWNFBBwuY - A followup two weeks later about the messages that allegedly got them fired

But ultimately they can also just speculate and the courts will decide

Can anyone explain why Rockstar does not want them to unionize? They are a super big company that can pay well no?

If they pay the peons well, the fuckers at the top get less tho.

They want to force toxic work schedules without extra pay or downtime. Because #dotcom

And probably no benefits.
