SAG-AFTRA Says Dual Strikes Against Video Games & Film/TV Industry “Makes Sense” As Key Issues Of Wages & AI “Mirror” Each Other
SAG-AFTRA leaders are considering a dual strike against both the film and TV industry and the video game industry, as the issues at stake in both contracts are similar and members are stronger together, according to the guild's President and National Executive Director. The main sticking points in both strikes are wages and artificial intelligence, and the guild is seeking fair terms that protect its members and respect their contributions. Voting to authorize a strike against video game companies is currently underway.
