The Hollywood Reporter has a follow-up on last week's
resumption
of negotiations for a new contract for SAG-AFTRA actors performing in video
games. Though no agreement was reached, the union announces that negotiations
will continue, a hopeful sign for a work stoppage that's nearing the 100-day
mark. There seems to be optimism the two sides are close, as word is the deal is
96% of the way there if our math is correct:
The union announced the
decision on Saturday, adding that dates were not yet set and would later be
announced. Meanwhile, the union’s strike against employers signed to its
Interactive Media Agreement -— which is nearing its 100-day mark — continues.
“With tentative agreements on 24 out of 25 proposals, we are optimistic about
reaching a final agreement soon as negotiations continue,” a representative for
the companies told The Hollywood Reporter.
