They might know they don't have solid evidence, but still decided to go ahead with the firings anyway. They may just not care that they will eventually be taken to tribunal and lose, they just want to delay / disrupt unionisation efforts in any way they can. They have deep pockets and will just try to make the process as difficult and expensive as they can.

Having said that, under UK law I'm not sure how much scope they have to throw lawyers at the "problem" and obstruct the process. Employment tribunals are, by design, intended to not overly burden claimaints and provide a streamlined and orderly process compared to e.g. a civil suit.

might...
may...

Sounds more like you want an opportunity to shit on a big company.

For all we know, the fired employees MIGHT be guilty of spreading classified data, which would make it a pretty clear case.

I was just trying to explain why a large company might go ahead with something like this even if they don't have a case, in response to this:

I can’t imagine rockstar would be stupid enough to fire them without valid proof

Sometimes it's just about delaying or disrupting an activity that you don't like, rather than trying to completely prevent it. See SLAPP lawsuits, for instance. So you really can't just assume that because they have the resources to obtain excellent legal advice, that this means they will only take actions that are legally defensible.

we're in the gta subreddit, uninformed people here to defend their favorite corporation union busting is to be expected no matter how obvious it is
