Video game voice actors who belong to SAG/AFTRA have voted to strike,
reports BBC News,
following recent indications a
work stoppage might be coming over royalties and working conditions in the
industry. 96% of union members support the strike, which needed a 75% majority,
and demands include residuals, stunt pay for "vocally stressful" parts, and
limits on long recording sessions. At this point the vote remains a negotiating
position, as it does not mean the union is on strike: "It is important to note
that the referendum result does not mean that members are on strike, rather, it
gives the National Board the authority to declare a strike," the union explains
in a statement. "With this result in hand, the Negotiating Committee will seek
to return to the bargaining table and continue to press for a fair resolution on
behalf of performers working in video games."
