SAG-AFTRA Picketing Thursday [Jul 30, 2024, 8:20 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
SAG-AFTRA announces performers currently on strike against video game makers
will be picketing WB Games offices in Burbank, CA on Thursday from Noon to 3:00
pm EDT. The limited scope shows this is not as much to disrupt operations as to
draw attention to the strike, which was called
last week. Here's
word:
SAG-AFTRA members who perform in video games went on strike against all video game companies signed to the Interactive Media Agreement, effective 12:01 a.m. on Friday, July 26.
SAG-AFTRA is striking this contract so that members working in interactive media (video games) can continue earning a living doing the job they love. Our members’ work and likenesses are being exploited by artificial intelligence, and video game companies have refused to offer a fair deal that addresses this existential threat.
Yeah, the people who want to work once and get paid forever crowd aren't going to get any sympathy from the rest of us slobs who have to grind until we die. You had a good run. Time to do something else.
