In October last year I was fired by Rockstar Games in what we believe was a union busting move. We lost our home. We lost 2 jobs with my partner being forced to resign. We lost a community. Most importantly however we had to leave our two dogs behind, one of which will never return.

Back in October, Rockstar Games fired 34 employees for alleged gross misconduct. The severity of these firings could have spelled the end for a burgeoning union effort that was underway, but it didn't. In fact, the union is now *bigger* than it's ever been before. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ym4z...

We tried every avenue available to us in order to save our visas. Calling politicians, appealing to the home office, applying for interim relief. Everything failed.

I think us being forced out of the country is a colossal failure of the UK legal and immigration system when our case is so hotly contested. It is mind boggling to me there is no mechanism to keep people in the country temporarily under circumstances such as this.
