In the midst of the ongoing SAG-AFTRA (Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists) strike, the union recently voted in favor of authorizing a strike under the Interactive Media Agreement, covering voice actors’ work in games. The union’s demands include vocal-stress protection for voice actors, transparency, consent, control, and compensation related to AI usage, along with fair wages. Negotiations have faced challenges, with companies reportedly rejecting the terms. While the union remains committed to its cause, it seeks an agreement without resorting to a strike, if possible.
