"Unveiling the Potential Strike: 5 Crucial Insights into Video Game Company Turmoil"

SAG-AFTRA members will vote on whether to authorize a strike against video game companies, as negotiations for the Interactive Media Agreement continue. The union is seeking protections against the unregulated use of AI, increased wages, and improved worker safety. Voice actors are concerned that AI technology could replace their jobs, and are demanding contracts that require consent for reproducing their voice or likeness. The union is also asking for an 11% wage increase and greater worker protections. This potential strike follows previous labor unrest in the entertainment industry, including strikes by film and TV actors and screenwriters.
