Rockstar workers will vote on union recognition right around GTA VI’s launch.

The union vote will take place from November 12th through November 26th, according to an emailed press release from the Independent Workers’ Union of Great Britain (IWGB). GTA VI is scheduled to release on November 19th.

If the staffers vote in favor, “the Rockstar Game Workers Union will become the biggest recognised union in the UK games sector,” the IWGB says.

The text reads: “Following months of negotiations, recognition of the IWGB Rockstar Game Workers Union will be put to an employee vote lasting from the 12th to the 26th of November. The ballot will coincide with the game studio’s most anticipated release of all time, Grand Theft Auto VI, on the 19th of November. The terms of the recognition deal, agreed upon by workers and management, would give workers a say over issues including pay and bonuses, overtime, redundancies, flexible working arrangements, and generative Al policies. If employees vote in favour of recognition, they will have the biggest recognised union in the UK games sector.“

Trump wants everyone to stop saying “AI.”

The president asked when The Wall Street Journal would swap the term for “Super Intelligence.” Legally, he can only force executive branch agencies to make the switch, but in a Truth Social post, he says he’ll soon “be officially BANNING the term, ‘AI/Artificial Intelligence,’ in all relevant documents, and everything else, due to its inaccuracy.”

Social media post reading: “When will The Wall Street Journal start calling Artificial Intelligence (AI), a very bad and inaccurate name, SI (Super Intelligence), the name which virtually everyone else is using, or soon will be. In short order, we will be officially BANNING the term, “AI/Artificial Intelligence,” in all relevant documents, and everything else, due to its inaccuracy. Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP”

Truckloads of costly equipment like servers, fiber-optic cables, computer memory chips, copper wires and bitcoin mining machines crisscrossing America’s highways have become prime targets for organized criminal groups looking for big payoffs, according to law enforcement and industry experts.
