The taskforce aims to ensure all redundancies are legal, justifiable, and fair, providing training and solidarity to members. The announcement comes amid widespread industry layoffs — including Xbox cutting 3,200 jobs — and in solidarity with Xbox union workers staging 'Save Our Devs' rallies. The union also references ongoing disputes with Rockstar Games over alleged union busting involving over 30 fired employees, with an employment tribunal set for October. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
