Hollywood’s Video Game Performers Authorize Strike if Labor Talks Fail
Video game voice actors and motion capture performers have voted to authorize a strike if negotiations on a new labor contract fail. The SAG-AFTRA union announced that 98.32% of the voting members had voted in favor of the strike. Contract talks between the union and gaming companies are scheduled to begin soon. The key issues for SAG-AFTRA include higher pay, medical treatment, breaks for motion capture performers, and protection against artificial intelligence. The union is seeking wage increases and more protections for video game performers.
