SAG-AFTRA tried for more than 19 months to negotiate a new deal with employers in the video game industry. Meanwhile, performers have been governed by the more than two-decade old contract still in place. That has left voice actors without the protections necessary to work in the modern video game industry.
Today, Nov. 17, SAG-AFTRA members and allies are on a picket line at Insomniac Games, Inc. in Burbank, CA (click here for details) to show that our greatest strength is our unity. If you are not able to join us in person, please join the #PerformanceMatters picket in social media.
Ways to Join the Picket on Social Media: Today at Noon PT/ 2 p.m. CT / 3 p.m. ET.
