The agreement is in relation to an interactive media contract with the National Board to review it.
A temporary agreement has been made between screen actors Guild-AFTRA and several companies in the video game industry. The terms of the strike suspension agreement are expected to be finalized with employers soon. The members will be on strike until this happens.
One in Press releaseSag-utra announced that it had reached a temporary agreement between its and signer video game companies. These companies include activities, blindlight, Disney character Voice, EA, Epic Games, Formosa, Insomnia, Tech 2 and WB Games. The details have not been released yet.
Sag -Ftra was able to confirm that the members would be on strike until the agreement was reached. The strike has been going on since July 2024, in which more than 98 percent of the members are voting to authorize the strike.
National Executive Director and Chief Duncan Duncan Crabatry-Irland offered the following statement:
Everyone in Sag-Aftra is very grateful to the dedication of the interactive media agreement conversations during these several months of video game artists and video game strike. As a result of patience and perseverance, there has been a deal that performs the required AI railing that defends the livelihood of artists in the AI era with other important benefits. Thanks, interactive media agreement chairs for your hard work and advocacy in search of this contract talks on Sarah Elmleh and Chief Contract Officer Re Rodriguez.
This is a long road for Sag-abftra and its members. What started in July 2024 has ended with a lot of ups and downs throughout the year. The parties concerned resumed the contract negotiations in October last year, but it seems that there has been little so far. Nevertheless, the Guild filed an inappropriate labor exercise three weeks ago about the Darth Wadar AI Company.
There is a need to work more to protect the rights of workers, and this temporary agreement is the first step to feel it. Keep an eye on our association page for more information about Sag-abftra and other unions in the industry.
